Mattress from SEA ALARM.
SEA ALARM. Built in 1941. Constructed by John Crown and Sons of Sunderland for the Ministry of War Transport, and christened EMPIRE ASH, she was acquired by the Clyde Shipping Company in 1946 and remained on the Clyde under a new name, the FLYING FULMAR. Ten years later she was bought by C.J. King of Bristol and became the SEA ALARM. She remained in the Bristol Channel, coaling regularly at Barry, until she was acquired by the National Museum of Wales in 1973 at the end of her working life.
