Re: Hello
Hello Alfred
May i put forward my Apology for these off Topic happenings.
Unfortunately at times Threads will be a bit spoilt by this sort of thing.
But the main issue is that you have received plenty of good response and help. I am glad that at least it got results!
I am sure if you need any more info, there will be those again that will assist where they can!
Thank You for joining the site!
Continue to Enjoy!

Re: Hello
I wish to thank you you all for your interest and generosity in my search.
Marian provided the first important piece of information, thank you Marian
Hugh, god bless him, recommended contact with Maritime Archives here in Canada where in fact the 1952, 1953 logs of the SS Largs Bay are stored. Thanks Hugh
I was fortunate enough to receive all the records related to my father's last voyage including the time and location when his body was committed to the sea - 05.00 October 11, 1952 14,41N 42,17E
Regrettably this area is currently in turmoil due to attacks on shipping vessels and one wounders if or when it will be stable enough to venture a visit.
I wish you all the best of Chritmases, I know you made mine.
Cheers
