Hi Liz,
I've struggled to find a way to reply to your recent message. I hope this works.
 I would love to have a look at the article about the Tangier.
I haven't yet worked out how RootsChat works, but it seems to be a most fascinating site.

Kindest regards.

Hi,
My great grand uncle, Fred Lee, was a salvage engineer, and in our family tree/history it is stated that he died on 20th January 1886 at Covelong.  He is reported to have suffocated in the hold of the shipwrecked SS Tangier. I do not know where this information originated but it would seem likely that he is the European diver referred to in the Times article. I have no idea where he was buried but believe he lived in India and had a daughter, Alice Maud Lee, who was half Indian and who I was told by one of my aunts went on to study medicine at a London Teaching hospital. If anyone can help me to find out more, I would be most grateful.

Lee
