ship built history tonnage
Clan Allen 1942 ex- Empire Forest, 1946 purchased from MOWT, renamed Clan Allen, 1958 transferred to Bullard King & Co, renamed Umtali, 1959 reverted to Clan Allen, 1961 sold to Hong Kong, renamed Ardsirod. 7,043

My mother's cousin, Claude Murray, emigrated from London with his wife Nan and daughter Jean, to Capetown, South Africa on the ship Umtali. I can clearly recall being taken by my parents to the ship's side in a London dock and waving farewell to Jean as she looked out through as porthole. Claude became a headmaster in Rondisbusch, one of the southern suburbs of Capetown. I don't recall ever hearing from them again. The following records show that their emigration was in 1947
