Hi My name is Shaun Sheridan and I live in Wollongong Australia. Thank you so much for making this documentary. My grandfather was aboard HMS Irresistable when she was sank. It was very moving to see the wreck. You mentioned there were only three engine room survivors and one must of been him.He was at that time a Mechanician in the engine room having been a stoker. His war office history shows he was transferred to a Destroyer Depot Ship called HMS Blenheim. His record shows that the Irresistable was sunk on 18th March 1915 and on the 19th March he is shown on the Blenheim. A ship I know nothing about. All of my grandfather medal were lost in the sinking ie his Boar War and Boxer revolution medals. His name was Patrick Sheridan and he was from Portsmouth England. I have a number of questions including do any crew photographs survive as I have none of his. Who do I contact to find out.
Kind Regards and again thankyou so much for producing this film.
Shaun Sheridan
