Updated Sept.-2013 - I've only removed and/or fixed broken links. This page is over 10 years old and there are a lot more informative websites today than those listed here. With today's search abilities, links pages like this are really no longer necessary; it's easy to find what we're looking for without them. This page will no longer be updated.

Royal, Dominion and Allied Navies in WW II
The Royal Naval Reserve Record of John Wilson
Forbes Wilson has created this extremely well researched site about his grandfather, John Wilson, skipper on board the British trawler Rutlandshire, which endured a violent attack by German bomber planes in Namsfjord outside of Namsos, Norway in April of 1940. The crew managed to get to shore and was taken care of by the Norwegians at Skomsvoll on the island of Otterøya (near Namsos) until they were picked up by the destroyer HMS Nubian (see the report from Nubian on Forbes' website). Includes background history for the attack on Norway, list of British trawlers lost in WW II, and a very helpful research page.
New development: Forbes has now found people at Skomsvoll who remembers this episode, and he and his father have been invited to the 17th of May celebrations in Namsos (Norway's Constitution Day) from 2001. Among a long list of items in the planned program the first time, they visited the house where John Wilson and his crew were given shelter that night in April-1940. I was lucky enough to be able to take part on May 17-2003 and it was a fantastic experience! Since 2001 Forbes has also found the descendants of the crews of other vessels involved and some of them were present when I visited Namsos this year.
A new quest: Forbes has found out that the ship's bell from Ruthlandshire still exists (in Stavanger) and would very much like a picture of it. So if anyone who knows where the bell is would contact either me (address at the bottom of this page) or Forbes (through his website) he would be most appreciative. This means a lot to him and his family.
