90th Anniversary Commemoration

Gallery One

The 90^th anniversary of the loss of the Rohilla was undoubtedly a milestone and to be part of the commemoration event to mark one of the most dramatic sea rescues was something I will cherish. It was a well attended event which went off with without any problems. With members of both Scarborough and Whitby mobile coastguard crews in attendance and also both lifeboat crews it was a fitting tribute to all those involved in the hospital ships loss. Following the original dedication page about the 90th anniversary event I am pleased to be able to present the first of three gallery pages.
