(ŠP & O)









The site is indebted to Derek Ings for sending a photograph of the clock presented by the Shipyard, (Hong Kong and Whampoa Dock) to Captain Frank Spenceley who was serving on Talamba during the time of the incident whilst he was Chief Officer. The clock is inscribed 'T.S.S. Talamba 2.9.37 to 15.3.38' and measures 11 inches by 7 inches and was given to Derek by the wife of Captain Frank Spenceley.
