Hi there, Ever wondered what happened to the Goan seamen who were on the many ships during World War II?
Uk-based historian Cliff Pereira has undertaken extensive research on various ships caught up in World War II. The ships covered by him include: MV Dumra MV President Doumer SS Shillong SS Britannia* SS Calabria SS City of Pretoria SS Erinpura SS Gairsoppa SS Gogra SS Khadive Ismail SS Nellore SS Rohna SS Tilawa Information on these ships can be found in the ‘Cliff Pereira’ files section of the Goan Maritime Museum mailing list, http://groups.yahoo.com/group/goa-maritime-museum/ We would invite all Goans with direct or indirect links to Goa’s rich maritime heritage to become members of this mailing list.
