<HTML>Hi all
when I was a baby/young boy in the 1950's I used to sail from Harwich to Antwerp on the Dewsbury, which I believe was used in the Atlantic as a convoy rescue ship. I'll never forget being taken to the engine room and being awestruck by the noise and the huge (to me) pistons & con rods going up and down. She was I think built in 1908 & scrapped 1959. I would like to find out more about her, and locate a phot if at all possible.
regards to all especially those who maintain this fascinating website
