Message: [QUOTE="Senan Molony, post: 288156, member: 144486"] Very dramatic pictures, Jim Would you believe I have a set of originals as well, taken from an American naval vessel (the [i]USS Wyoming[/i] I believe, I'm trying to remember offhand. 90pc sure it is her.) They show survivors coming aboard on netting, and one or two show the [i]American Shipper[/i] also lending a hand. Speaking of "coloured" (the phrase used at the time) survivors, one of the pix shows a man who was extensively praised at the Inquiries for saving life. How much did you pay for your [i]Vestris[/i] report, Geoff? Am I right in thinking that you are talking about the red-cover Journal of Commerce report rather than the HMG Blue Book? [/QUOTE]
