| Vassallo,
Joseph, 27, 8th January 1945, Merchant Navy,
S.S. Ashbury (Glasgow), Greaser, TOWER HILL MEMORIAL, Panel 10. Joseph VASSALLO, died 8th January 1945, He was a Greaser on the tramp steamer Ashbury. The ship was badly in need of repairs and sailed from Workington in Cumberland destined for Tyneside where the work would be carried out. They joined a convoy but whilst passing between the north coast of Scotland and the Orkney Islands the weather conditions became atrocious. Snow showers, and a Force 9 wind whipped up the sea, and the Ashbury lost touch with the convoy. The ship was driven close to the shore at the entrance of the Kyle of Tongue. Assistance was attempted by the Canadian ship Ste.Therese but unsuccessfully. The Ashbury was out of control and struck the Black Rocks at the entrance to the Kyle of Tongue and foundered. The entire crew of forty-two men died
