He said: “This occurrence has emphasised tremendously to the people of this town and district the realities of the dangerous and hazardous occupations of our seafaring men. That same year, the hospital ship Rewa was attacked in the Bristol Channel and one of our workers Reverend James helped organise support efforts for the survivors in Wales. The submarine then dived underwater - leaving 38 men on deck to drown. The crew were ordered to board the submarine’s deck and told to take off their lifebelts, which were then kicked overboard or destroyed. These included the three survivors of the SS Belgian Prince, which was torpedoed by a German U-boat while travelling from Liverpool to the United States on a trade mission. Unrestricted submarine warfare led to heavy merchant navy losses and in 1917 alone, Sailors’ Society supported 23,000 seafarers from torpedoed vessels. Two years later, Europe was engulfed in horror with the beginning of the Great War, and the Society worked tirelessly to support seafarers affected by the conflict. Despite repeated invitations to board a lifeboat, he chose to help others and went down with the ship. Sixth officer James Paul Moody was the only junior officer to die in the disaster.
