Hello Mike Pitcher,
Many thanks for your detailed post last year and especially for the photograph of the SS Wells City, for which I had been searching for some years, albeit in a previous incarnation, as the SS Empire Mariner. My father served as a Radio Officer aboard that vessel between September 1944 and May 1945 and he is listed in an US Immigration manifest dated Jan. 13, 1945. That manifest (and perhaps others for other time periods) provides a full crew list at that time, and is available through ancestry.com.
I am presently engaged in researching and writing a biography of my father's career as a Marconi Mercantile Marine Radio Officer between 1941 and 1947. I have photographs of all the other vessels on which he served, but not the Empire Mariner (and subsequent name changes), and I would very much appreciate being able to use your photograph in that biography. May I have your permission to do so please, which I would be acknowledge as you wish?
Thank you for considering my request,
John Henry
