More Survivors

I really must ask Ian Uys if I can publish a copy of the Passenger List as he has it in his book here, but I really think that if all of you who are reading this, have not bought the book yet, especially all those survivors - honestly it is well worth reading and in there you will find a list of all the passengers on the ship, on the fateful night of 3rd of August 1991.

I recently received this email from Kerry Kyte who was a fellow passenger, here is the email:

Kevin Crossman

Rita Crossman

Kerri Crossman

Tarryn Crossman

Lindy Trollip

Tracy Trollip

John Hickland

SAmantha Mountford

Darren Mountford

We where all aboard together

I will add these to my own list I have and once completed it, I will publish it.  

New Passenger List

I am eventually getting round to posting a new passenger list with added names, if you were on the Oceanos and your name was not on the old passenger list and you have not previously left a comment on this blog, please email me at oceanos.survivors @ gmail.com and I will ensure your name is included on the list.

A full list of all the passengers is published in the book "OCEANOS survivors stories" by Ian Uys, I will seek permission to copy it here.

Passengers from Bloemfontein and Welkom

I received an E-mail from Mervyn, (this always tends to happen when I think that nobody reads my blog) Mervyn was a passenger on the Oceanos, he was the manager at Rennies in Bloemfontein in 1991, he has provided me with a list of the passengers from Rennies in Bloem and Welkom - Thank you Mervyn.

Hopefully we will get Mervyn's story to publish here and maybe a photograph.

Thanks once again Mervyn - Here is the list:
