alfie Posted 4 March , 2004 Share Posted 4 March , 2004 I am looking for an accesible list of the trawlers and crews on the Tower Hill Memorial (or others), particularly those from SN (North Shields) registered boats. Has anyone any ideas, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 4 March , 2004 Share Posted 4 March , 2004 I have a complete list of all ships on the memorial together with their ports of registry. If you would like a copy, email me off-Forum. You can then request a list of casualties from the appropriate ships from CWGC on casualtyenq@cwgc.org Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alfie Posted 4 March , 2004 Author Share Posted 4 March , 2004 Thanks Terry and Malcolm, are there any other vessels (particularly fishing vessels registered in other ports) that are described as "of North Shields" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Seymour Posted 4 March , 2004 Share Posted 4 March , 2004 Terry, Does your list include WW2? And if so please could you let me know what it says about SS EMPIRE TOUCAN? Many thanks. Best wishes, David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Posted 4 March , 2004 Share Posted 4 March , 2004 Thanks Terry and Malcolm, are there any other vessels (particularly fishing vessels registered in other ports) that are described as "of North Shields" There are several pages of trawlers/drifters with lots of registrations but only SN registrations are identifiable as North Shields. Excuse the pun but a trawl through the lists only produced what I posted. Aye Malcolm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alfie Posted 4 March , 2004 Author Share Posted 4 March , 2004 The thing is when I was fishing I was on a North Shields owned boat, with a North Shields crew, but a Buckie (Bck) registration. I've visited the Tower Hill memorial a few times and I thought I would recognise names of vessels. But I will work on the ones you both have provided me with.

Terry Denham Posted 4 March , 2004 Share Posted 4 March , 2004 Alfie My list was taken from the official CWGC list of vessels. There are no others on that list from North Shields. So, if any vessels you are looking for are not on my list, then there are no casualties from them recorded by CWGC (that does not mean that other boats were not sunk. Boats could have been lost without casualties or through causes which did not qualify any casualties for war grave status and commemoration by CWGC).

Guest Stoner Posted 6 March , 2004 Share Posted 6 March , 2004 One of the men I am researching is listed on Tower Hill Memorial, Able Seaman, Fred Alfred Monk, "SS Lowmount" (Leith), died on the 07 May 1917, would any one have ant information on the SS Lowmount (what she was? What happened to her?)or any further CWGC info would be much appreciated. Thanks Mark Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terry Denham Posted 6 March , 2004 Share Posted 6 March , 2004 SS Lowmount (2070 tons) was sunk by a mine 07.05.17 four miles south east of the Nab Light Vessel. Five crew killed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
