Comments

I'm not sure that the comment that was in the photo album I got this from is correct and that this was taken following the disaster.

My mothers brother Charles Southerden (my uncle)was one of the crew that drown on that fateful night. The picture was that of the Mary Stanford after the disaster. The Mary Stanford was on 'display' at the Chatham Dockyard Museum in the 1980's.
