The HAIG ROSE?

[hollyking]

Ever wondered what happened to the Haig Rose? Well wonder no more. The Dictionary of Disaster at Sea During the Age of Steam 1824-1962 is now online. Oh, you really wanted to know? Well here is the entry:

Haig Rose

Richard Hughes & Co.; 1920; J. Fullerton & Co.; 1,117 tons; 220-2x34-2x13-1; 96 r.h.p; 9 knots; triple-epansion engines.

The steamship Haig Rose, Capt. Oen Roberts, left Barry on November 5th, 1940, bound for Plymouth. She was never seen again and was believed to have been sunk by striking a mine.

Hmmm... Looks like I need to find an icon for posting about steam engines and the like.
