Hi, my grandad Harold Samson was an AB on the Tordene joined at Liverpool sailing with a cargo to Halifax, Nova Scotia before heading back to UK.

I don't have any dates but have written comments from him saying the ship limped back into Liverpool shadowed by a Sunderland flying boat.

If anyone can help me with dates or would like to know more details please email me at ruthrichards1973@gmail.com

Subject: SS Benalbanach
Author: Joanne Eggerling [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 21/05/08 1:00pm I have a friend named Ernie Hawks, his father went down on the ship Benalbanach in WW2 on the 7th of January. I am trying to find a photo, preferably a scan, of the Benalbanach so that I could show Ernie the ship his father was on. Ernie also fought in ww2 as well but in Burma. If you could help me find a picture of her I would be most grateful. Many Thanks. Joanne. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

Subject: Radios
Author: albert bishop (Still quite happy) [ Edit \| View ]	Date Posted: 14/05/08 7:21pm Probably not as important on passenger ships as on tankers and tramps, but on those, your own radio was a luxury, Any fond memories of the best models? for me it was the "Pye marine" ( 17 quid in Rotterdam) If I remember correctly it boasted seven short wave bands, Great set. Entertainment system suplied on Br tankers in those days was a wind up gramaphone. Cheers Albi [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
