Hello, everyone.
The SS Tyndareus was mined by 'Wolf' and after an extraordinary evacuation of 1030 soldiers, made it to Simonstown.
I'm looking for a crew list.
I know the official channels but, was wondering, does anyone have one? The story surrounding this ship warrants keen interest from many people, and maybe you are one of them.
Thanks in anticipation,
Su
P.S. Look up SS Tyndareus and see what I mean. Its well worth 5 minutes of your time.

Lots in the historical papers about the Tyndareus captained by George A H Flynn, including photos of some of the men aboard when it was mined.

Chief Engineer- Mr Wragg
First Officer- Mr Cupley

Yes, a lot of information in a variety of articles, but little mention of the crew. Without whom ....

If the Official number of the ship was 137527, it appears to be at the National Archives

Yes, info there. I was hoping for assistance and a shortcut. :-)
