GAUL, Deckhand Thomas Albert Moon, was washed ashore on the small island of Wiay in the Outer Hebrides. My maternal Great-Grandfather, who was the tenant of that island at the time, found the body and brought the matter to the attention of the authorities. Thomas Moon, a Grimsby man, was subsequently interred in Nunton Cemetery on the Island of Benbecula. The grave in tended by the local community who are planning of restoring the memorial and inscription. I am trying to establish whether there are any present-day relatives of Thomas Moon in the Grimsby area and would be very appreciative if you could give me permission to download and use the photograph of the GAUL in our efforts to trace relatives, alternatively advise contact details with any other who may hold copyright for the image. Any assistance you can offer would be gratefully received. Thank you very much, Angus Mac Kinnon Troon Ayrshire Scotland One of the crewmembers of the ill-fated S.S.
