Hi
Thought you maybe interested in this, there is a book called ADVENTURES OF AN OBSCURE VICTORIAN by W G RIDDELL which gives an acount of a couple of voyages he did as third engineer on the SS ABYDOS shortly before it foundered.He has renamed it as the 'TROJAN' you can find a copy at www.abebooks.co.uk/. You can view the Wreck Report at www.plimsoll.org/resources/SCCLibraries/WreckReports/16723.asp.
