Ship: "Richmond Castle."

03-07-15, 19:00

I am doing some Research for a family in Liverpool, due to my Disability I have to do my Research online as much as possible. The family know that their late Father, Robert Howells was one of 15 Survivors who was rescued by the "Irish Pine," on 18 August 1942. Apparantly their ship was torpeodoed off the coast of Greenland, and they were picked up at Kilrush at County Clare. I did find some references on the Internet, and there were some names, but Robert Howells' name was not among them. Has anyone any idea where I can get more information please. Many thanks.
