Re: 10th July 1940 British tanker Chancellor hit
Hello Andy and Larry,
If you can, try to get David Barnicoat's book "Sailing Ship to Super Liner".
It has photos of the ships involved the names of the shipyard workers killed (George Eric Bastian;Samuel Prouse;Walter Samuel Knott; Charles Palin; Henry Arthur Pellow and Leonard John Tallack) and a copy of Charles Pears painting of the raid.The real think is now removed from the Shipyards Main Office and is in the Town's Municipal Building.
Ships hit were:
British Chancellor,Tascalusa and the Marie Chandris. The Dutch Salvage tug Zwarte Zee was damaged and later sank.
Three crew of the British Chancellor who lost their lives were:
Chief Engineer Officer Charles Halley Lennox
2nd Engineer Officer William Joseph Crocker
3rd Engineer Officer Philip George Lucas Samuels
All the very best
Alex
