Stanley Orritt was an engineer on the SS Potaro when the ship was captured by the German ship Kronprinz Wilhelm on 10 January 1915.
I understand that he may have been the Chief Engineer, which was the rank which he held on the SS Brecknockshire, which was torpedoed by the German Commerce Raider Moewe in January 1917.
Never done maritime checks before, so would appreciate some help.
Need to understand this process, as I have similar exercises to fill in gaps for my father, who went to sea in his teens / early twenties (1925 - 35), and mine and my wife's grandfathers.
Thanks
