Hi Thelma The Vessel lost late in late December 1904 enroute to Rotterdam was the Steam Ship Berrington, Official Number 53117. SS Benington continued in the Register up to 1915. To start SS.Berrington was built By Palmers at Newcastle in 1865. She was a 767 gross ton cargo vessel owned by John Fenwick and Son 57 Gracechurch Street (I presume London) the last registration detail I can find is 1899 when she was registered in Howdon. Lloyds Casualty List reports. The Berrington Sailed from the Tyne for Rotterdam on the 28th of December 1904 and was never heard of again. The only report of her loss I can find is in The Times, Friday, Jan 06, 1905 which lists William as the 2nd Engineer. I have placed an image of the report for you on our image Gallery, you will need to apply for membership to the gallery to view a larger image. http://www.mariners-list.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=6 There may also be a Board Of Trade wreck report but I don't have any information on that, someone else on the list might be able to give you directions as to where this may be kept.
