Hi Bobby
The ship HELENE was grounded off East London in October 1905 but I dont have
any
suggestions as to how one would find out passenger names. Perhaps other
listers may
have them.
Another one that was grounded 20 miles west of East London was STAR OF THE
EAST
but this was in April 1905.
Kind regards
Lynn
