My uncle was Patrick Joseph Ryan he was aged 24 when he lost his life. Although he was childless when he died I wanted to record the few small details that I have in the hope that they might be of interest to any possible descendants of the other crew members. I also hoped that someone else might have other information that could be added to their story.
