Hi Hugh
If you want I can do the translation. You can perhaps post them here.

Hi Ian, thank you that is kind of you - the documents should be attached below. The first one is straightforward being a crew list signed by the Master who survived the sinking. The ticks next to the names are the survivors. The other two pages are a report along with those who died. Thank you once again for your help.
Regards
Hugh

The outgoing ut
& From Glasgow to Heules
 ingoing inn

Are probably self explanatory

Second page looks complicated.


Its a great document to have
