<HTML>Hello Ted
I have a fair amount of information on "Abosso"including a list of all 149 men commemorated on the Tower Hill Memorial in London, copy of voyage record cards,a brief chronology, an article from Shipbuilding and Shipping record dated October 10, 1935 including general arrangement drawings, a picture, the Captain ( R.W Tate) career history as well as the successes of U-575.
There is also a book written by James Cowden regarding the history of the Elder Dempster line, unfortunately I can't recall the title at this moment in time.
If you need any information regarding the above, pleazse contact me at the above e-mail address.
Regards Jim Slawson
Ps
My interest arises from a distant relative who died on the "Abosso".</HTML>
