I have just found a photograph of my great uncle Francis B. McQuone who was a purser on the ship. Also have a book called 'Sorry for Sinking You' which gives more detail of what happened to him.

My engineering apprentice-ship was served in Brown Brothers, Leith.Many of the old fitters, had been to sea, some of them had sailed during the war. The stories they told were fascinating.When I finished I sailed as a 5th engineer on the City of Coventry in 1961 (and eventually with other ships).Although I was only in a few years the experience has never left me.BillWhen I visit Liverpool I try and get to and give a nod to the Monument to Engineers and Stokers and helpers in the Merchant from all over the world.

Ellerman City Lines was my husband's first job! He used to work in the Indian Crew Dept. which he loved. He developed a career in personnel management.

Thank for putting together this wonderful informative web site. I came across this while researching my Grand Father’s journal from WWII. My Grand Father, John Sutherland Davies, fought with the Royal Scots 2/10 in Northern Russia in 1918 and 1919. They were transported from Edinburgh to Archangel Russia in 1918 aboard the SS City of Cairo.
