sotonmate Posted 8 October , 2006 Share Posted 8 October , 2006 Charles / Joyce 66 Have you got TREWYNs Official Number ? If you have that you may find a crew agreement at the National Archives Kew. 1920 numbers begin at File BT99/3537. A visit would be necessary to read a crew agreement,which all the crew sign before undertaking a voyage. Having found the Official number the file could contain several agreements over more than 1 year for the ship. Best wishes Sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Lowrey Posted 8 October , 2006 Share Posted 8 October , 2006 The official number for the Trewyn built in 1920 was 142577. Best wishes, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sotonmate Posted 17 October , 2006 Share Posted 17 October , 2006 Joyce I took a look for your vessel TREWYN at the NA today. File BT99/3571 had a sample of ships crew agreements for the range of Official Numbers which included 142577 (Trewyn's ON). As is often the case there was not a complete range of numbers present so yours was not there. You will have to take it that the NA doesn't have any Crew list agreements for your ship. The University of Newfoundland may have some information though. They acquired a considerable amount of Mercantile Marine data from the UK some years ago,so I suggest that you take a look there to see what they have. Sorry I couldn't find you information Best wishes Sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZimRich Posted 14 December , 2006 Share Posted 14 December , 2006 Hi, Does anyone have any info regarding the disappearance of the S.S Trewyn in 1916? All I have been able to find is that whilst passing Gibraltar from Algiers to Middlesbrough on 25th March 1916 it disappeared. A lifebuoy and other wreckage, but no survivors, were found on 1 April 1916. Thanks Rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sotonmate Posted 14 December , 2006 Share Posted 14 December , 2006 Rich You may get some info from: http://uboat.net just in case they have a record of a U Boat sinking the Trewyn off the Spanish coast. They have a forum too. You already know what I know,apart from the fact that the name rang a bell with me,and this because there was a thread in October naming this ship and wanting info about a crew man from the ship. There was no info mentioned about the sinking though. Best wishes Sotonmate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Lowrey Posted 14 December , 2006 Share Posted 14 December , 2006 The loss of Trewyn is not believed to be U-boat related. Best wishes, Michael Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
