S S Mendi

No trip to Osborne House but went to Maritime and Shipwreck Museum. The S S Mendi was filled with black South African volunteers armed with shovels to dig trenches in WW1 . Another boat speeding in the fog collided into her and over600 people were killed.
Not much of the disaster was said at the time. !!
Eventually a memorial with the names of all those who perished was unveiled in South Africa by the Queen and Nelson Mandela.
