Re: Hello
Hello Justine
Here are his CR1 AND CR2 Cards. As you see there are quite a few Ships listed from 1925 to 1940. Plus some other info.
You can now begin to search for the Ships by Official Number, then if wanted also look for Crew Lists etc.
Hope this will give you more to now go on with
cheers
This is just the Link for the Ship shown on the CRS2.Below
Wellfield 1924
Above Baron Renfrew Cargo Ship. Built 1910 of 1605 Tons.Buider Rodger Port Glasgow.
Ended 1937 Scuttled! Also served as Kun Shing from 1932 to 37.
146691 British Captain Tanker 1923 Built at Hebburn End 1941 Mined Corpus Christie Shell Haven
NB The ship shown which looks like British Colony, i cannot find??
Added Just found the British Colony Justine
British Colony 1927
Also something that is really puzzling is that the Initial Ship we started with namely the Bolton Castle is not shown anywhere on his Cards?? This is very odd!
Something to be looked into i feel!
Cheers
I think the Crew List for the Bolton Castle is now the only way to make sure that he was in fact on her, not that i am disputing , just very puzzled!!
