James Paul Moody
This 24 year old Deck Officer took up his lifeboat duties after the ship struck an iceberg on her northerly course from Southampton to New York via Cobh. Clearing lifeboat after lifeboat with seamen under his command, knowing there were insufficient lifeboats for all on board. He stayed at his post until the every end, going down with the ship doing his duty.
'The Friends of HMS Conway Trust' in placing this plaque in James' town of birth are dutifully honouring his memory.
