The Wreck of the SS T R Thompson (Steamship). Saturday, February 21, 2009. A previous post by Tad (9th Aptil 2008) mentions the Westburn. As a T R Thompson look-a-like , and well it might be , but it's been pointed out to me by esteemed Wreck Tour author (for DIVER magazine) John Liddiard, that many ships of the era may have looked similar bit not in fact been sister ships. Fair point , worth some more research Tad! You can check Tad's posting HERE. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). The SS T R Thompson.
