My Grandfather Harry Fall was on the Australian passage In 1944.

We have so many photos and detailed diagram diary with dates and places the arbiter visited.

My grandfather, Harry Waite was chief engineer on HMS Arbiter from the beginning, I have many photos, and a copy of the original blue prints for the ship he left me. I still remember many great stories he told me of his adventures. I was researching his ship and found this great website, many thanks for the information. Miss you always H.

My mother was one of the 11 women who were aboard when HMS Arbiter made her second crossing to England in 1944. She married my dad on June 18 at the age of 18. She had barely been off the farm, literally, when she left America to stay with my dad's folks in Deal.
