A note about image and OCR quality

Every reasonable effort has been made to present these document images as flat, straight and accurately cropped as possible. Historical records can be difficult to photograph or scan because of tight bindings, deep gutters, page curvature, folds, creases, fragile paper, uneven edges, shadows, glare, skewed pages, fading, stains, tears, attachments and restrictions on how a document may be handled. These conditions can distort parts of an image and consequently affect the OCR transcription.

Considerable post-production work has been undertaken to crop, align, flatten and enhance the images where practicable, but the results represent our best effort rather than exact facsimiles. Text showing through from the reverse of a page, printed backgrounds, stamps, ruled lines, marks and text visible from neighbouring pages may confuse or spoil OCR output. Handwriting is not reliably recognised and, in most places, may be missing, incomplete or incorrectly transcribed. Always check the page image and, where accuracy matters, consult the original record held by the identified archive.

OCR is not a transcription. It is machine-generated text used to create research tags and help locate names and references within the source images; it should not be read as a verified narrative.

The Private Secretary, Ministry of Shipping, Berkeley Square, LONDON, W.1. Dear Sir, I have to thank you for your letter of 19th June, together with letter addressed to Captain Robertson of our ship "Scottish Co-operator" in relation to services rendered by his and other merchant ships during the evacuation of Dunkirk. We confirm that this covers the only ship owned by this Society which could be engaged on the service above mentioned and in accordance with your request, the letter is being sent on to Captain Robertson. Before doing so, however, we are making a slight correction as the initials of the Captain are "T.S." and not "T.F." as shown. The matter will now be in order if your own records are adjusted accordingly. as yours faithfully, Hunger Transport Manager.
