Hello - help required

[JANE MILLER]

Hi guys (and girls). I have joined this forum to find out as much as I can about the Rononia trawler which operated out of Grimsby docks in the 1930's. She was lost in 1942 off Iceland. My grandfather - Albert Edward Miller - was lost when she was torpedoed off Iceland. My father was aged 9 at the time. He is now approaching his 75 birthday and I desperately want to find a picture/painting of the Rononia and as much information about her and her last trip as I can. Hoping you guys and all your knowledge will be be able to point me in the right direction!.

Cheers for now. Jane

There is a painting of Rononia on this site at http://www.shipsnostalgia.com/showthread.php?t=6320&page=41 just put in the link and scroll down to post 1024 by Steve Farrow - he posted the painting.

Also there is a mention of the sinking here (http://uboat.net/allies/merchants/1400.html)

Also quite alot of information on the RONONIA here (http://www.fleetwood-trawlers.info/rononia.html)

Kind regards
