SS Leersum

The Society’s Hon. Agent at Scarborough, Mr WH Ellis, was personally presented by the skipper of the Dutch ss Leersum with the boats in which the crew escaped when their ship had been blown up by a German mine, but Mr Ellis generously made a donation to the Society’s funds of £10, resulting from the sale of the boats.
