Hi Michael,

Thank you very much indeed for the link which is, as you say, an excellent discussion on the sinking. It also provides a crew list which clarifies my father was not a crew member on the VILLE DE VERDUN at the time of its loss. The crew list of the small coaster ARLETTE (originally the Danish registered sailing vessel VONIN) lists my father's previous ship as VILLE DE VERDUN. I must therefore assume he was a crew member only for the period of sea trials following its launch at Londonderry and not when it made its fateful maiden voyage.

Thank you again for your help,
Best regards,

Martin
