Hey All,
A colleuge of mine at work is trying to trace what her father JOHN ALEC KEATING did during the War 1939- 1945. She has managed to obtain some of his Merchant Navy Records and all she has is a list of ships he was on and dates, but thats all. She asked me to help because of my love of ships i havent manage to find much searching the net, well nothing definate anyway, so far we have the following ships which we know he served on and dates:
LIBERTY G 16/09/1943 TRANSFERING SAME VOYAGE TO
SAMNESSE - 16/09/1943
ASCANIUS - 12/09/1944
FORT ST CROIX - 28/09/1944 - EMBARKED AT TILBURY
EMPIRE COAST - 24/5/1945
SAMUZON 20/12/1945
COLONEL CROMPTON 31/05/1946

If any one could tell us more about any of these ships we would be greatful, Does anyone know what happened during their war service or what happened to them or have any photos? we would be very very greatful.
