Cpt. Michael Cardiff
Merchant Navy HMHS. St. George
Captain Michael Cardiff was the Master of the St. George during WW1 and received decorations for his service. The St. George was built in 1906 and served as a Rosslare to Fishguard Steamship until 1913 when it was sold by the Great Western Railway to Canadian Pacific who used it in Bundy Bay. The ship was requisitioned in 1917 to become a British Hospital Ship until 1919. It was then bought by the Great Eastern Railway and probably worked between Harwich and the Hook of Holland. It was scrapped in 1929. I do not know if Captain Cardiff had associations with the vessel before and after WW1. He did however spend his last working years as a Master on the Rosslare to Fishguard line.
