In the matter of a Formal Investigation held at The Guildhall, Hull on the 15th, 16th, 17th and 18th days of August, 1944 before R.F. Hayward, Esq., K.C., assisted by Captain Piers de Legh, Captain J.W. Grimston, R.D., R.N.R., (Retd.) and G. Robb, Esq., into the circumstances attending the stranding of the steam trawler "LOUIS BOTHA" at Veidios in Medalland Bugt, Iceland on the 7th March, 1944. The Court having carefully inquired into the circumstances attending the above-mentioned shipping casualty, finds that the stranding was caused by the faulty navigation of the trawler "WAR GREY", the appointed leader of the section and the failure of the skipper of the "LOUIS BOTHA", Thomas William Ellis (a) to take soundings (b) his echometer being out of action, failing to communicate that fact to his leader and ascertain whether the "WAR GREY" had verified or was verifying her position. The Court suspends the certificate of competency as skipper of Thomas William Ellis for six calender months from this date. |
