It is with deep sadness that I write to report that Frank Shipp crossed the bar on Sunday, 29 October 2006 - his funeral is to be held tomorrow, 8 November.

A former Signalman T.O. on HMS Rushen Castle, Frank was very proud of his association with the ship, and offered me a great deal of assistance with this website for which I will be eternally grateful.

His wife, Pam, his family and friends are in my thoughts.
