Oh, thank you for the explaining, I'll do my best!
I'll visit that site after that. My father knew (some) of the story of the being drugged etc. and believed that he had quite a reasonable job at sea. Between that and then understanding why places like Ilford figured in conversations when I was young makes so much more sense now.
I'll ask my father more when I speak to him tomorrow. I know that there are many photographs (somewhere) as my grandmother and her sister Julia were very into their photography, I believe professionally.
