Fantastic work of both Hugh and Doc Vernon. In the fine list above about the owners of E.B.C./Rolletta, what does (32) and (64) means after the names?
Is it possible somewhere to find a picture/painting of the good ship E.B.C./Rolletta? Kind regards Erik

[Doc Vernon]

[Doc Vernon]

LOWESTOFT RECORDS

Anybody requiring information about Lowestoft fishing vessels and ships built there should contact the following:

Suffolk County Council
Lowestoft Record Office
Lowestoft Central Library
16 Clapham Road
Lowestoft
NR32 1DR

Telephone: 01502 405357 (Searchroom)

They over 14,000 photographs of Lowestoft ships there and thousands of records of fishing and other vessels.

The staff provide an excellent service and details of owning companies including share ownership. The many fishing company official records come up with some surprises!

Information and photographs of all vessels mentioned on this thread are available from Lowestoft Record Office, in fact the details posted about the steam drifter Go Ahead appears to have been copied from information held there or is very similiar. Lowestoft fishing vessels are very easy to research thanks to many years hard work by the Port of Lowestoft Research Sociery members.

Hi everyone! Once again thank you very much for your great help. Back to the main issue in this thread. The Cathedral in Newcastle. Could someone here have a look in the book with names of the danish seamen mentioned from WWII? Is my Rasmus Skovgaard Bertelsen one of the many names? Hope someone can figure that out? Best regards Erik

[Doc Vernon]

I hope that someone on here may be able to visit the Church, and possible see if the name Mentioned is in it!
Please do reply if you may be able to do this
Thank You
