Inside Katherine Cree Church London is this portrait of the Lancastria. Also a wooden plaque relating to the ships involved in the rescue of the survivors and the evacuation effort. Plus a beautiful stained glass window which show in the left hand corner a lifeboat with the name Lancastria written on its side depicting people in the rescue. St. Katherine Cree Church is also the final resting place of the Tyrrhenia bell which is now rung on the memorial day of 17th June. In remembrance of those that did not survive Britain's worst maritime disaster |

The Memorial at Alrewas at Lichfield is fitting tribute to those that lost their live and for so long have not had the recognition they deserve. Alrewas Is is a place where young people can now come and learn about the great tragedies along with the bravery of so many people. |

This is the marker buoy which shows the resting place of HMT Lancastria. Resting just below her in shallow water her hull lies just below the surface of the Loire Estuary. It is but a little reminder to those passing ships of the horrors on the day 17th June 1940 where an unknown number lost their lives and a British Government who still refuses to recognize her survivors and those lost. |
