Archibald Parkes McColough was a stoker on the Glenart Castle on its last voyage

My Grandfather, Archibald Parkes McColough was a stoker on the Glenart Castle on its last voyage. I remember in my childhood being reminded of this ship which seemed to hold special interest for him (never got the exact details). Recently I located his Merchant Marine log and found his last voyage to be on the Glenart Castle. It was marked "voyage not completed' by the port authorities! Happily he survived - being taken to Cardiff on a fishing boat - where he later married my grandmother. Attached are some relevant images - if they are of interest, you have my permission to use them on your web site should
you so desire.
