    Default Hello

    Hi All i found your site whilst doing a little bit of research on my late grandfather he served on the ss bayano 141870 during the war,
    alas he passed away many years ago when i was'nt really interested in family history (is'nt allways the way) now i'm older i realised i missed out on some interesting history , he told me the bayano was one of the ships that did a lot of runs in the convoys i'm just trying to find out if this would have been right , i have his certificate of discharge book which has 24 entries in it aboard the bayano . If anybody on here could help me fill in some blanks about this i would be very grateful
    many thanks John

    Question BAYANO and her Convoys...

    Hi John,you could do no better than starting off checking out the excellent CONVOY WEB site.
    Under SHIP SEARCH enter Bayano.You can then click on each convoy number for details


    As you can see BAYANO certainly did her bit for Britain. .
    Best Regards
