Mr James Connor and IONA

[Stephen Hurst]

Hi All,

I was wondering if anyone could supply anymore information about Mr James Connor and the ship IONA that he previously served on.

Was this a scottish ship, who was it operated / owned by?

Kind Regards,

Stephen

Scottish island names are quite popular, so there have been a lot of 'Ionas'. One possibility is the steamship Iona built at the Gourlay Bros yard in Dundee in 1892, and probably operated from that port. It may have ended up wrecked in the Red Sea during WW1:
