Message Text: Re: Trojan Prince My grandfather arrived in N.Y. as an immigrant on April 24,1898. Anyone who has knowledge of this ship's history, (other than whats posted on the internet), please contact me. Its interesting that she was torpedoed by a German Sub in 1917, and that I served on a sub 60 years later.

Anyone interested can contact my email. "They Shall Grow Not Old...." is dedicated to over 500 boys age 16 and under who died in service with the Merchant Navy during WWII including fifteen boys age just 14 years old. The book is chronologically indexed by date of the losses from 1939-1946 on how these boys met their fate, detailing convoy, cargo, destination and cause of loss. Each month also records the official tonnage losses for Allied and neutral Merchant shipping and a monthly break down of the number of casualties throughout the war including DEMS gunners. There are 60 black & white photographs representing various types of ships sunk as well as 22 colour photographs of all the grave stones of those buried ashore throughout the world. A number of photographs of individuals have also been found and are incorporated into the ship photographs they were lost from. 463 March 07 2010 at 11:11:40 Full Name: james insole Email: seawolfe@yahoo..co.uk Home Town?: cardiff .south wales Message Text: Its been a pleasure reading through old records....Iam looking for old crewmates on ..ss Inver..charlie browns of larne...in 1961..,,ty all 464 March 05 2010 at 09:46:30 Full Name: Dennis Clark Email: ballyclark@bigpond.com Home Town?: Wollongong, Australia Message Text: John Albert Milton MBE Lloyds Medal (my father-in-law now deceased)was 3rd mate on Teesbank when sunk in 1943.
