Hywyn Posted 10 September , 2007 Share Posted 10 September , 2007 John There seems to have been a HM Trawler Ina Williams which sunk off Berehaven on 30/5/1917 according to a couple of Memorials on Google search. She is mentioned on this site. A wreck off Bull Rock http://www.irishwrecksonline.net/Lists/CorkListB.htm Hywyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hywyn Posted 12 September , 2007 Share Posted 12 September , 2007 Hi David I had only just re visited the excellent British War graves site a few days ago and whilst playing around found that the 'unit' search seems a useful search for bringing ships crew losses together. It's obviously an ongoing ever expanding poject though and all data is not on it as you show Hywyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
