Ok, so I have his maritime records. He was reported as missing on March 3 1925 on a fyffes and elder banana boat which sailed from Kingston, Jamaica via Tela, honduras on its way back to avonmouth, Bristol. I believe the boat was the Ss Bayano.
The plot thickens

Hurricanes took away our roof, power and phone lines. Living in a fairly untouched apartment below, with a generator on a few hours at night.
Fighting mould a big problem. Just written off several books we had had on display, including Caribbean in Sepia and Jill Walker's lovely pictorial
book on Barbados
Only very recent access to email.
Thanks, Listers, for your concern.

Hi Peter
Glad to hear you came through "relatively" intact I know from many the damage was just plain stunning in some locales and poor Barbuda is nearly undone...
How the island will rebuild itself and in what form are yet to be seen....Have friends on Vieques who are also living on generators, battling mold and learning the tricks to refrigeration without reliable power..over there the supply chain is just
Best wishes it eases upyour family and friends and may the spirit of Tesla visit your electrical grid!
And boy it is true about the US media...the islands were covered until P.R. went critical and then No Island But!
I've been posting updates from BBC and others onto my Facebook groups to spread a little news and awareness, but we're a bit more connected than many others stateside because we're all saltwater folk: surfers sailors and wake makers. Best wishes to
Cod

Being 65 I spent most of my life reading newspapers and lugging bags of Sunday NYTimes to the curb. I also went to Newhouse school of journalism at Syracuse University although I transferred and changed major rather than continuing in that direction. It was unnecessary to defend journalists against a simple and very general observation that coverage of the West Indies is often nearly non existent in the more common US sources. I was speaking of television and or newspaper news orgs usually observed here in the Northeast corridor of the United States.
I have at least three friends or family members who are journalists of various descriptions so I rely on them to correct me when I am ruthlessly unjust.
I believe this was the first time I have uttered such a criticism for a
long long time and am a flagrant liberal anyway.
So no harm no foul but if there is any sort of inter personal issue underlying this drop me a private line
In the meantime freedom of the press is safe from me.

Peter, let us know what you need that we can help with. I could send you,
for example, a fruitcake :-)
Regarding the comment about the "media" (as though it were one entity), I must say there are very few journalists left, actually. Remember that newspaper subscription you cancelled? Remember how you now get your news
for free in the web? So please ask yourself which journalists you're now supporting before you criticize the few who are scrambling to cover what
they can. Then go subscribe to something. We all rely on newspapers for a
lot of major ancestral research. And remember, most of our ancestors
probably bought the newspaper. And that how we pay for the journalists you and I long for when we need someone we trust to be our eyes and ears when
we cannot personally go and see.
Ok. I will now take my soapbox and go back to my corner!
Laura
