1/2/1864 – 15/3/1898: Liverpool Echo, May 16th, 1898. The Benholm and the Klondike collided. Nine crew of the Benholm (Garston to Cardiff), including James Buchanan, donkeyman, were lost 12 miles west of Point Lynas, only 3 miles from Anglesey. The Klondike did not stop but the Curzon picked up survivors. James was my great-grandfather and left behind a wife and 5 children. My grandfather and a sister were brought up in the Seaman’s Orphanage, Liverpool. May his soul rest in peace.
