Greetings I am an author here in Perth, Western Australia, AUSTRALIA. Am planning to write book about the entire story of the sinking of the T2 tanker SS Fort Lee on 2/11/1944 in Indian Ocean. Am seeking as much info as possible of men who were rescued by Liberty ship SS Mary Ball and taken to Colombo, Ceylon. Already have photo of Mary Ball, but nothing on her crew, route at time, fate, also the fate of the men from the Fort Lee in Lifeboat #1 that were taken to Ceylon - how did they get back to the US? Who looked after them and where did they stay whilst in Colombo? Any info will be greatly appreciative. Thank you
