Whitchurch League of Friends meet Author Ruthie Lockyer for an evening of “suspense and impending disaster”

In 1957, The Reverend John Lockyer left Liverpool dock on RMS Hildebrand III with his wife and eight-year-old daughter, Ruthie, bound for Antigua to begin work as a Methodist Missionary. Disaster stuck when the liner ran aground off the coast of Portugal. Fifty years later, divers discovered pieces of the wreck on the ocean floor and as information was gleaned from crew members and witnesses – speculations continued about the cause of the demise of a grand liner carrying tourists and freight to the West Indies.
