Hi  GOOGY.
      Have a look at.
 
      http://HTTP://en.wikipendia.org/wiki/fairey_swordfish
The website is not working, Use Google (fairey swordfish)
  Could it be possible the torpedo that sank  his boat was called a "swordfish."?

Hi Maggie.
     One last question "Are we talking about Liverpool UK or Liverpool  NSW."
      On the humorous side of all this,I had to smile at a colleague who was about to give up, when he said:-
    " Have put all the information together and the answer looks like Robert Newton, in Treasure Island, did he own a parrot?"

Hi Bangorreg

I am sorry, but I have been able to get on the computer lately.  In answer to you questions, Uncle Jimmy was in Liverpool UK. The message that is on Curious Fox is what my cousin told me about him, and I have no reason to dout her. If you send me your email addess I will be only to pleased to send you a copy of the photo.

Regards
Maggie

Hiya Maggie,

When did Uncle Jim receive his Trophy? Could you post a picture of the Swordfish which I presume looks
like this one http://indian-river.fl.us/fishing/fish/sword.html Was he taking part in a fishing competition?
I have not registered on the Liverpool - the Scouse House Forum so could not read the message about
the Swordfish caught in Liverpool. http://www.thescousehouse.net/index.php?showforum=5

Best Wishes, Christopher

Hi again Maggie.
         Still unable to download your Photo. Could you send it again.
          Also have checked Liverpool newspapers 1956 to 1965 with no results. Need that PHOTO to make progress.

Hi
    Have a look at "dungarvan yachting club Ireland" using YAHOO.
Click on WN2 this will enter you into  "Genealogy Research Ireland" you may find something,
    I sent e-mail to Dungarvan Sailing club, they have no knowledge of an award or any info on a swordfish .
    This is going to be a hard one ,maybe you have to start again putting everything you know down Step by Step,as there are too many Topic's Posted and it is getting hard to follow.Start with all the facts you have-Names and Dates then lead up to the (Swordfish Award) try and keep your Topic to one, then everybody will Be-able to help you.
     Good luck  Reg.
