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].
Theban
Theban was a 202 GRT steam trawler completed in 1913 by Cook, Welton & Gemmell for Thomas Robinson and registered at Grimsby as GY.937. She left Grimsby on a fishing trip on 8 November 1919. On 14 November 1919 the trawler Phoebe was near another trawler and fishing about 65 nautical miles from the Humber when there was a loud explosion and flames engulfed this second vessel. Only a few traces of the vessel remained. It was later concluded that the trawler that had been destroyed was the Theban as no others were reported as missing.
There were no survivors

Thetis
Thetis was a 33 GRT sailing vessel (ketch) completed in 1872 in Cowes for Thomas W. Ratsey. By 1915 she was owned by Lewis Hutton & Sims Ltd, of Southampton. I can find no information about how these two members of the Weadock family lost their lives but, given the size of the vessel, they are likely to be the entire crew.
Unfortunately, the location of this panel makes it virtually impossible to get a decent image.
