RANGITATA-APRIL-1945, convoy was CU-65 not HX 348 April 16, 2009 1:10 PM Hello Mac. Further to the posted letter from Arthur Burland; re Rangitata the convoy was CU-65 not HX 348. I also was a passenger in the Rangitata-a returning child war evacuee The burning ship Arthur mentions was result of a ship collision which lit up the night sky. The ships in question were the Nashbulk and the St.Mihiel Oh yes, I remember Gladys Cooper on that voyage; a voyage that experienced a vicious storm and on April 12/13th-the news of the death of President Roosevelt Thank you for building such an interesting website-- I visit often. kindest regards
Thank you for the Rangitata information we will amend the Convoy number from HX-348 to CU- 65. We do try to be accurate, but do not always succeed. Regards, |
