SS. Persic

[Jimmy Shaw]

Hello Chaps,

Could anyone possibly tell me the callsign for Shaw Savill's SS. Persic? Also, what routes did 'Persic' run?

Thanks in advance.

Cheerio,
Jim

The earlier SS Persic was an ocean liner of the White Star Line, built by Harland and Wolff in 1899. ... Name: SS Persic. Owner ... Official number: 110620; Call sign: BKGS.

Would the later vessel have a differing call sign ?

Thanks Gents. Sorry Doc, but there is no 'Persic' on your list. I believe it is mainly listing naval vessels.

I would believe that 'Persic' 1949, would have a different callsign to the older one. 'Persic's' sister ship, 'Runic' (also 1949), has the callsign GGCS.

Don't worry too much, but I appreciate your assistance.

Cheers

Yes Jimmy i saw that but anyway tried LOL
I do believe though that there is a Book for Radio Operators (its quite old) that lists many of the UK registered Ships with their Call Signs! Not sure though where one could get a copy,and even the name of the Book??
Cheers I did see that the letters GG--- refers to UK ships so it must have been those two with something else!
