Treweddin 1970
I was on the Treweddin when a murder took place. My name is Dave Whitehead and I was an EDH. My email address is dave_irene@btinternet.com. It would be good to hear from anyone who was on this ship at the same time as me.

loss of capt john reilly
Hello Dave, My name is Dermot Reilly, Capt John Reilly was my uncle and all i know is while he served as master on the MV Trewidden , may 1969 as a result of some incident or other he went over the side in the Indian ocean some where off reunion island. I would love to know from any former ship,s crew on board at that time what may have caused this incident to have happened. this , however, is not a legal issue but only for family history reasons. I will be most grateful for any information relating to this matter. Thank You most sincerely, Dermot.
