Mike,
Some years ago I read the 1945 edition of Skeleton Coast by John Marsh. Unfortunately I no longer have it, but I am pretty certain there was a crew list in it. Certainly there was a chapter on "What happened to the survivors afterwards" in it. This book is not available on Amazon but I notice that there is one for sale on E-Bay.
Regards
Dave Tink

"Skeleton Coast" mentions all the passengers but only the odd crew member,Capt,mate,C/E etc.

A good book came out a few years ago by Jeff Dawson called "Dead Reckoning".
Re crew and Passenger list try Mike Marsh's site
http://rapidttp.co.za/skeleton/ you will have to part with a few bob but will find a full list is there, you can also read an online/updated version of the "Skeleton Coast"
Mike Marsh is the son of John H Marsh the author.
