THE "EMULATOR" DISASTER.
15TH APRIL 1919.
The photograph on the left shows Matthew Crimlisk and his two sons, Wilfred and Tom Robert, obviously taken some time during the war.
The photograph is from the collection of Kath Wilkie and given to her by Chris. Robinson, the grandson of Matthew Crimlisk
The remaining three images are taken from the photograph collection of Anthony T. Crimlisk (a son of George Matthew Crimlisk and a grandson of Matthew Crimlisk)
The photographs left are of Hannah (née Cross) (1869 - 1947) the wife of Matthew Crimlisk (1871 - 1919) and the mother of their two teenage sons, Tom Robert (17 years) and Wilfred (19 years), who all lost their lives in the Emulator disaster; and their eldest son, George Matthew Crimlisk (1895 - 1975) who would have probable been on the Emulator at the time of the disaster but for the fact that he had not yet been demobbed from the Navy, after serving during the war on a minesweeper.
The photograph below shows the "Emulator", mostly obscured, in Scarborough Harbour.
