   As I wrote I was just looking something up on the loss for another   
   reason and saw the comment about trying to identify people so just   
   thought that I would post here and a couple of other places that I visit.   
      
   If you are not interested then no reason for you to bother reading any more.   
      
   The link to Blackrod is quite amusing and I asked around the area to see   
   if the story was still known but it did not seem to be the case.   
      
   The book is very interesting because it was a major tragedy and   
   passengers came from many places.  The book is also gives a good picture   
   of the migrant boats of that time.
