Thanks bbart. That link works.

I am a member of Findmypast. I must make more use of their newspapers. I did look up his father Thomas Threlfall. In 1851 he was accused of the murder of Henry's mother, 19 years after she was found floating in the Leeds Liverpool canal in Halsall. There was a deathbed witness to the alleged murder but Thomas was acquitted.  I was just following up on Henry's future life when I came across the link to becoming a Merchant Seaman. Now I have two stories, a murder, and a shipwreck !

 Thanks Karen and Mazi,

I think that is a good end story from a tragedy. The beachcombers took the cargo and the ship's figurehead became a local landmark and it was eventually replaced.

There is more research to do - my person and the seaman have a different birthday, by 2 days, probably not significant but there is another Henry Threlfall event in the future, a local marriage, so was he one of the 2 survivors and made his way home or is that a cousin?

OK, here is a combined image of the front and reverse. 
I don't think I am losing too much detail squeezing it down to under 500K. With the 3.5M original images, there is blurring due to the reflections off the gold.
I believe the Hallmark is [TF] [9] [375] [anchor] [G].

I think TF could be Thomas Fattonni, 1907-1938  a badge, button, dish, fob, medal, spoon, trophy cup manufacturer. Trafalgar Medal Works, Regent Street, Birmingham

Thanks John,

Might be. When Uncle left the Army he went to work for MOD and managed a Firing Range. He does have some Army Shooting trophies but these are small spoons with his details on.
thanks
