Hi Ian,

I have read your request whilst searching for more info on the SS Saltwick for myself. My father served on the SS Saltwick during the 1930's as 3rd officer & I have a couple of pictures of that time.

Let me know if you are still interested

Hi Ian,
Sorry I haven't replied before now. I was ill before & after Christmas, & I have only just remembered that I replied to you. Please accept my apologies for the delayed response. I don't know if pictures can be sent from this website. If you would like to give me a contact e-mail I will forward the pictures I have of the 'SS Saltwick'
Regards
Steve
