    12 in the shot which likely means all crew (7 years later) perished. thanks for posting this interesting shot.

    Flapweb You're welcome! Very sad - would love to know how many of these men were still part of Copeland crew in 1917... Hate to think of any of them, but especially the smiley chap up the front, drowning in the Irish Sea. Found this great thread that names nine of the crew that were killed when the Copeland sank, and gives other information, like age and family, etc.: www.mercantilemarine.org/archive/index.php/t-4186.html?s=...

    Sunk by U-57, this sub was lost in the channel, 3rd August 1918, after she hit a mine. At the time she was under a different commander,Lohs.. usually HMSO states as to whether the captain was lost but this information is not in the Merchant Shipping Losses so I assume the captain of the Copeland survived.. What line was the Copeland ?

    Quite a collection of hats. Quite a future in store for the doomed ship. History lives in such glimpses of times past.
  • Stuart said:
    The insignia on their sleeves suggests the man holding the ship's lifebouy is a Commander (a rank below the level of Captain) and the man to his left could be his second in command, the ship's Lieutenant. Perhaps it's the Lieutenant that's depicted in Ernest Binstead's drawing? Stuart.

    Thanks, Stu, excellent information!

    So interesting - we used to look out to Tuskar Rock from Rosslare as kids on hoiliday when I was about 9 years old - that would be about 1956. Does anyone remember the St. David, St, Andrew and St. patrick mail boats that sailed from Fishguard to Rosslare?

    Real classical ladies and gentlemen on a cruise - reminds me of the Agatha Christie story "Death on the Nile" - i am somehow looking for Hercule Poirot here... ;-)
