I am researching and writing about the loss of the Asiatic Prince in 1928. Any information about the event or crew would be greatly appreciated.

It would be nice to get a copy of the cargo manifest when she left New York on 28 February 1928 and Newport News on 2 March.

That would be incredibly helpful,maybe if you go to newport news you might be able to found out if you can get a copy of the cargo manifest

Any idea what the contact details are for the port of Newport News? I am in the UK so need a little assistance re American contacts.

No I don't but I could probably get some contact info.

Hi Stephen, my great uncle William Lindsay Duncan was the Captain of the AP when she disappeared in 1928. Very interested in any research/writing you’ve undertaken. Maggie

Sorry for the delay in replying. I have almost finished my details about the Asiatic Prince and I am looking to publish a booklet about the loss of the ship. When published I will contact you again. Stephen
