  	The steamship Laristan SS, was on voyage from Swansea to New York with a cargo of coal, when on 25th January 1926, the Norddeutscher Lloyd liner Bremen picked up an emergency call that she was sinking. The Bremen assisted Laristan, but only managed to rescue six of a crew of 31, due to the rough seas. Lost in SS Laristan of which he was in command, when that ship foundered during a heavy gale in the North Atlantic.
