Hi All


Can anyone point me in the right direction for a image of the ship Empire Conlea later called Conlea in 1956. Official Number 180984

She was lost off Jersey in 1956 in a gale with the crew being saved apart from 1 man which was lost, and the vessel finally sinking.

I know the Empire ships were Government ships so should be fairly easy to find a pic but i am struggling.

Thanks GG
