1939 British Pathe newsreel about survivors of the Athenia sinking, including 2 eyewitness accounts

September 3, 2012

Hi Mac,

Long time no talk/email.

I just came across this archival 1939 British Pathe newsreel about survivors of the Athenia sinking, including 2 eyewitness accounts.

It's just 1 minute and 44 seconds long. Follow the internet link here: http://www.britishpathe.com/video/athenia-survivors-go-home/ 

(looks very good full screen - Terry)

Hope you find it interesting and useful.

Best wishes from your friend, 
Bob Meade

Bob,

Nice to hear from you and thank you for the newsreel clip. We will add it to our Athenia Pages.

I never cease to wonder at the interest still in this sinking, and the amount of material that is still surfacing,
Hardly a week goes by that one of my correspondents will write about another facet of this story.

Take care now.

Mac.
