Anna has very kindly sent me lots of information and photographs of her family, including Captain Robert James Gant b. 1856 Wiveton, Norfolk. Robert James Gant was Captain of the steamship Homer, which disappeared with the whole of her crew after a collision with the Russian barque Hoppet off Spurn Head, Yorkshire in 1901.
