My father lived in Moreton, Wallasey after retiring from the sea, not that far away from John, and I have lived in Chorley for over 30 years.. Thanks again, and regards..

My father, William John Morris (Bill) was aboard this ship on it's maiden voyage, and never really talked about his experience other than joking, which he liked to do a lot, always looking on the lighter side of life. I've been searching for information for many years now about the vessel and the crew that my dad served with, and so far this is the most detail I've uncovered. For anyone interested, I do know that my father was, at some time, a Lamptrimmer, I believe a member of the Stokers Messdeck (I believe known between them, as the bearpit!?). I'd be grateful if anyone might have any further information that they may care to pass on to me, and my brother. Dad passed away in June 1979, and the only other seafaring friend of his I remember was a gentleman that I called 'Uncle Harold', who may have been Harbourmaster at Birkenhead Docks at some time? I'm the youngest of his children, my brother now being 69, and 15 years my senior. Thanks again, and regards.. Hi,
