Submariners from #HMNBClyde made the pilgrimage to Bridgend in south Wales to honour forebears lost in #WW2 boat HMS Urge.
She was adopted by Bridgenders who raised £300k - £35m today - but was lost to a mine off Malta in April 1942. @RNinScotland

The latest episode of #History Bites looks at the war memorial at #EdinburghWaverley railway station. So many names it is hard to imaging them all being stood in front of you. #scottishhistory #scotland #warmemorial @Britwarmemorial

#OnThisDay 1941 Battleship HMS BARHAM struck by 3 torpedoes from U-331 in the Mediterranean. She capsizes to port & sinks within 4 mins after a massive explosion. 862 men were killed from a ships company of over 1200. I cannot imagine the terror of those 4 minutes.

Who was Norman Fowler?
This is my mission at the moment to find out more about a young man who died on board a raft in the Atlantic after initially surviving the sinking of his ship, the Lulworth Hill. #sslulworthhill #normanfowler #shipwreck #merchantnavy #bridlington

This December's @ShipsMonthly has three parts dedicated to the #Titanic, one of which was written by myself talking about the ships of the Titanic story, a combination of 1912 and modern day vessels that have been instrumental in the history of this tragic yet iconic #liner.

A new article in my blog on the firefighters of the Portsmouth blitz, one particular man who I obtained photographs of thanks to his relative getting in touch.
