My Uncle George Fewell, I have been told, was a serving member of the Queen Mary which was sunk at The Battle of Jutland. Is there anyway I can find out the names of the nine surviving members of the crew.

Yours truly,
A C Faupel

Wow, I am so pleased to see the picture of the launching of the Queen Mary in 1912. I have been looking for some time now, but haven't managed to find very much in the way of pictures, except there is another site that
shows the chapel and some crew members.

My grandfather was a 1st Class Stoker on the Queen Mary, and I have been unable to find any photos from family members. So the picture of the launching and the one actually showing gun turrets are absolutely amazing. Thank you for the interest you show to do this web site. Hopefully others will see it and search those attics and trunks for further pictures and names to add to your site. Good Luck and thank you.

P.S. do you happen to know where the "Queen" was in the turret photo?

My grandfather also died on Queen Mary at Jutland but I have no photographs. He was a Chief Stoker so would certainly have known your grandfather.

Derek:
I am so sorry, I have only just seen your message in regard to your Grandfather and The "Queen". Wonderful to know that he probably knew my grandfather. Where was your grandfather from? Mine came from Liverpool!
Speaking with someone that had a rellie on board makes your own rellie appear human, if you know what I mean. If I find anything I will be sure to let you know.

Happy researching,
