sadsac Posted 4 April , 2007 Share Posted 4 April , 2007 John, regret to inform you there are NO logs in ADM 53 / PRO for any of these ships. ADM 53 is `Main file' for ships logs. Other details may be in ADM 1 / ???? ADM 377 / ??? etc. Details MAY be found if other ships were in area and they give any reports. Good Hunting, Sadsac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

regatta Posted 4 April , 2007 Share Posted 4 April , 2007 Hello Sadsac, What is the ADM? I am new to this. Could you steer me in any direction for anything to do with an ex-cross channel ferry ELLA which was owned by the Shipping Federation in Bristol, loaned to the Admiralty, who loaned her to the Belgians and the Master was my Great Grandfather Captain J G Gray, who was Registrar of Shipping in Bristol from 1915 until 1935. regards Noel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadsac Posted 4 April , 2007 Share Posted 4 April , 2007 Noel, ADM in PRO/NA terms = ADMIRALTY files, as opposed to AIR = Air Force etc. Sorry, regret cannot be of help re ELLA, but I am sure some `Pal' on this Forum will come forward with relavant info - they usually do !

Tom Wales Posted 4 April , 2007 Share Posted 4 April , 2007 Re 'Ella' - one of the last two photos on the NMM list might fit the timing http://www.nmm.ac.uk/cgi-bin/empower Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Wales Posted 4 April , 2007 Share Posted 4 April , 2007 I think the link failed but if you google up the National Maritime museum site and work through to the historic photograph enquiry page then type in 'Ella' it throws up a few choices. Click on the page icon on the individual items and it gives a bit more info. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
