Anchises incident 1949

[gregor12]

I wonder if anyone can help. I am looking for details of the incident off Shanghai in 1949 when the Anchises was bombed and run aground. Mainly ineterested if anyone has a crew list from the voyage and who the four injured persons were. My mother is trying to trace some details of her father who was Chief Officer on the vessel at the time.

Details of the four injured crew.

Deck Boy T. Edwards - seriously wounded.
Fourth Officer T.D. Mothesill - slightly wounded.
Junior Electrician I. McPhaill - slightly wounded
Seaman J. Hamilton - slightly wounded.

The full Crew Agreement for 1949 should be held at Kew in piece BT 380/299 (http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/displaycataloguedetails.asp?CATLN=6&CATID=8076558&SearchInit=4&SearchType=6&CATREF=bt+380%2F299)under the ship's official number 181085.
