Sleight of Grimsby (GY 508) until January 1915 when she was requisitioned by the Admiralty as Minesweeper No.FY 1042; built by Cook, Welton & Gemmell at Beverley in 1910.

Terence Munson Posted 27 November , 2007 Share Posted 27 November , 2007 Hello John - See this previous topic Here, Just to add this was a Grimsby trawler port No. GY 508, one of G. F. Sleight's, initially all their vessel names began with 'R' -------, later they changed to all starting with 'R' and ending with 'O' eg. R-------O.

Cheers, Terry Hi John Final Patrol of HMS E6: By late 1915 the British Admiralty had decided that German U-boats would have to reach the North Sea via Horns Reef. On Christmas Day 1915, 30-years old Lt.Cdr. W. J. Foster in HM Submarine E6 was ordered to proceed to the area of Horns Reef to intercept any U-boats passing that way. Foster left Harwich in E6 on the 26th of December and his patrol was due to last approximately six days, weather permitting. The area around Harwich had previously been mined and earlier that same morning the requisitioned armed trawler RESONO (Admiralty No.1042) had detonated a mine and been lost with all hands in that same vicinity. A patrolling torpedo boat had seen E6 leaving and warned Lt.Cdr. Foster that he was heading into danger, but it appears either the advice was not passed on, or Lt.Cdr. Foster ignored the warning and continued on course. The crew of the torpedo boat watched as E6 detonated a mine and disappeared in a ball of smoke, leaving only some oil and flotsam on the surface. In all thirty-eight lives were lost. The Kaiser’s Imperial U-boat UC 5 had laid the minefield earlier and was also responsible for the field that sank the British destroyer HMS LIGHTNING off Kentish Knock on 30 June 1915. However nemesis was waiting in the wings for UC 5 also. Cheers Ron Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Eyden Posted 8 February , 2014 Share Posted 8 February , 2014 I've discovered my great-grandfather's wife's brother was Deck Hand William Charles Augustus BEAVAN SD.2697 who was killed on the Resono. I'm having trouble finding a service record or a photo of him, sadly. Thank you to the posters above for the information, I'll keep looking.

Guest Poppy62 Posted 6 July , 2015 Share Posted 6 July , 2015 William Charles Augustus Beavan was my maternal great-grandfather. I don't think my family has any photos of him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
