Back a number of years ago I wrote our Athenia story. being picked up by the Southern Cross, then transferred to HMS Escort Then on to Greenwich on the Clyde.

I am constantly suprised that survivors from the tragic Athenia sinking on day one of WW2 still get in touch with me. I would love to have your account of the sinking, so we might add that to our Athenia Pages for the wider community. Best regards, |
