This page includes basic information about the ships and how they were lost, a photo of the relevant panel(s) of the Tower Hill Memorial and information about those that lost their lives extracted from the CWGC database. In the table I have included information about those who served on the ships but who had a normal burial as this seems appropriate to me. In some cases further family information about the individuals may be available on the CWGC website [7].

Premier
Premier was a 89 GRT steam fishing vessel (drifter) completed in 1889 by J. T. Eltringham for George Scott Jr. of South Shields. At the time of her loss she was owned by Alexander Minty and registered in Banff as BF.696. She was sunk on 7 January 1918 by gunfire from German submarine U-91 at position 57° 13' N, 06° 28' W - approximately 3 nautical miles East of Loch Eynort, Skye.
The Date of Death recorded by the CWGC for Mr Watt is a week later than this incident. I presume his death was caused by the same incident but that he was rescued after the attack and died later.
