Unwanted Certificates & Artefacts / Re: ALFRED BAILEY JORDAN Able Seaman HULL
« on: Sunday 10 May 20 22:34 BST (UK) »
Hi,
Not sure if this thread is still active, I’ve just found out about Alfred and his correspondence. My Grandad was on Sikh on its final voyage, James Frederick Nolan.
I’ve ordered a copy of Trevors book and am looking forward to understanding more about life on board.
I’ve read the book ‘Lower Deck’ and after my Nan read it she immediately said the character called Ginger was my Grandad - Ginger was his nickname, and he was an orphan from Bermondsey, exactly as it states in the book. Although it’s extremely unlikely, I’d be very interested to know if there are any survivors from the boat.
Best regards,
Gregg.
