Terence Munson Posted 3 January , 2007 Share Posted 3 January , 2007 Hello, I've had an enquiry via my website for any information on a former Grimsby sea fishing apprentice who was one of the casualties when HMT 'Dane' was lost 28/8/1915. I cannot seem to find much detail on the vessels loss. Can anyone help? Cheers Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spithead Posted 4 January , 2007 Share Posted 4 January , 2007 Dane taken up from Hull registered as H227. Regards Charles Charles There were two DANE's, both built in 1915, H227 survived to 1954 and G947 was the one that David's post refers to.

Terence Munson Posted 4 January , 2007 Author Share Posted 4 January , 2007 Thanks everyone for your contributions, the extra detail helps to give a more rounded explanation for the loss of the ’Dane’ just one of so many ships lost in similar circumstances. The only brief ‘one liner’ I had was from Boswell’s 'Lost list of Grimsby Vessels 1800 - 1960':28 Aug. 1915 DANE (S.T. 265) Mined off Aldeburgh in Admiralty Service. The casualty I’m researching is James William Seddon Pretious RNR. He and his brother George Pretious, born in Sculcoates, Hull, were orphans at an early age. Like so many from orphanages around the country in the late 1800s, they were sent to Grimsby to become sea fishing apprentices. James signed indentures on 20th July 1886, his brother signed earlier, 22nd Jan. 1884. Cheers Terry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harper Posted 30 November , 2008 Share Posted 30 November , 2008 Yesterday I visited the graveyard of SS Peter & Paul in Aldeburgh and was intrigued to find a gravestone for one of HMT Dane's crewmen. The inscription reads: J.H. Carradice served as J. Wilson Seaman RNR 7929/A H.M. Trawler "Dane" 28th August 1915 Does anyone know the story behind this seaman who served as under an assumed name?
