Some photos of the aftermath of coaling, perhaps aboard the Lion but not confirmed. As coaling is mention all through the diary, we now can see the evidence of how incredibly dirty this process was. Frank mentions ‘cleaned the ship’ after almost every coaling but doesn’t mention how the men cleaned themselves or their coaling clothing.

Finally, a photo of the Agnes Duncan, probably the most popular coaling ship as per Frank’s words on the subject.

This photo is from historicalrfa.org. The Agnes Duncan had a long sailing history until August, 1941
