    1. [MAR] Thomas ANGUS death and burial at Sea
    2. RAYMOND THOMPSON
    3. Hi List,   Help Please.   On 23rd of February 1866 The Seaham Weekly News reported the death and burial at sea of Thomas ANGUS on 17th of January following a short illness aboard the Glontarf on route from Alexandria to the U.K.   The newspaper reports that Thomas was a seaman aboard the Glontarf of Sunderland I can find no trace of a Glontarf and wondered if it could be The Clondarf built 1850 Quebec.    Previously Thomas was reported to be master of the Fellowship of Seaham.   Thomas was born in 1822 in Hull and was a well known person in the Seaham Harbour.   I have searched local maritime indexes without success. Is there any way I can confirm the ships name or discover other circumstances of the death.   Cheers for now,   Raymond Thompson   Seaham Harbour   County Durham
