Cutting about the Dods Family who were on the Natal

The narrative reads: "On December 30, the result of an accident, John Henry Dods, Dalgheal, Evanton, son of the late Principal Marcus Dods, DD, his wife Annie Farrer, and their children Dorothy Elizabeth, Marcus Palliser and John Frederick. The portraits were taken a few years ago." Secrecy in wartime required no mention of the loss of the Natal. [Cutting, now in Invergordon Museum, courtesy of Mhairi Mackenzie.]

HMS Natal

Part of the Natal hull

At low tide, in later years, only part of the hull was visible, and this navigation hazard was removed in the 1970s, leaving only a marker buoy. Prior to that time most of the wreck was slowly salvaged.
