Thanks Mick,

Tom,

Sorry have not yet found any photos of the ship. If I were you I would pose the same question on this site:

http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/

The site is much bigger than here and boasts a lot of expertise in solving questions of this sort. For example searching local press archives and possibly RNLI records about the incident, also locating seamans records.

Good luck in your search.

Regards Glancon
