249202 Ronald Hilary Treharne Gibbons Merchant Navy Ronnie Gibbons joined SS Port Sydney at Cardiff around September 1938. It departed New York 1 Oct 1938, due Sydney Australia 1 Nov 1938. Ronnie sent a wireless Christmas Greetings letter to his parents, via SS Reumera, on the return journey. Ronnie stayed with the Merchant Navy during the war and was torpedoed off the east coast of the USA at some point. He was rescued, repatriated and managed to survive the war. I believe, SS Port Sydney also survived the war so, I am uncertain on which ship Ronnie was serving when torpedoed. The family believed that the torpedoed ship was the Tacoma Star of the Blue Star Line but I believe that ship was lost with all hands and Ronnie's name does not appear on the casualty list. He died on 21st Aug 1973. Please type your message:      We recommend you copy the text about this item and keep a copy on your own computer before pressing submit.
