Description
Group photograph of seven merchant seamen on the deck of what appears to be a Liberty ship. Found in a waterproof tobacco tin during restoration of the SS Shieldhall in Southampton. One man has circled his face and written "Convoy PQ-17" on the back. PQ-17 was the most disastrous Arctic convoy, losing 24 of 35 ships in July 1942. Identifying any of these men would be historically significant.
