1 Index There are three indices below – one of ships mentioned; one of place-names, including street-names, in Sunderland, the North East and elsewhere; and a general index which covers most people and any other aspects of the book. In one or two cases (the names of all the pupils at Peareth Children’s Home, Claremont School and Rock Lodge School, for instance) I have only included the names where they individuals are part of a story. I have also omitted from the index any lists, like the list of mansions in Roker. In places of potential confusion (e.g. the Abbs and Hutchinson families), I have included birth and death dates. A number followed by n is in the footnotes on that page; by p, there is an image on that page. 2 Index of ships mentioned Aaron Eaton 181-182, 319 Fountain 132 Achilles 40 Four Sisters 132 Adam White 150 Fy Choo 133 Agenor(ia) 79, 359 Alarm 63 G.R.
