History

Barrian, Cecil Patrick Thomas Foster passed away on August 8th 1930 aged 43 years. His wife Minnie Foster died on April 14th 1982 aged 98. The couple are buried at Merthyr Dyfan Cemetery, Barry, South Wales. The family home was 1East View Terrace.Master Mariner, Captain Cecil Foster, has remained relatively forgotten until now in Barry outside of maritime circles, although Captain Foster and the ss. Trevessa foundering are world famous. The good captain was received by the king at Buckingham Palace and his obituary was recorded as far around the globe as New Zealand. His actions then, continue to save lives at sea today.When the S.S. Trevessa foundered, she was owned by Hains, a well known Cardiff based Steamship Company. She foundered on 3rd June 1923 and sank in the Indian Ocean during rough weather. There then followed an historic ordeal of 1,700 miles in open boats.
