| FRYATT | Charles Algernon |
TO
THE MEMORY OF There
is a memorial off to the side in Liverpool Street Station, made
from marble with a circular bronze portrait of Charles Fryatt, the
artists was H. T. H. van Golberdinge. Charles Algernon Fryatt (1872-1916),
was the 44 year old Master of the unarmed Great Eastern Railway
Steamer merchant ship, SS Brussels,Mercantile Marine, and a regular
on the Rotterdam/British East Coast route since the start of the
war and this was the cause of much annoyance to the Germans. Fryatt
had used the Brussels to help evacuate many Allied troops from France
during the First World War. In March 1915 they made two determined
efforts to sink the Brussels. On the 3rd March 1915 Capt. Fryatt
successfully dodged an attack on his ship by a U-Boat and sailed
home to a heroes reception and was presented with a gold watch by
the ship's owners.
 On
the 28th March 1915 a further attempt was made to sink his ship
by a U-Boat. Capt. Fryatt saw it surface and as it was trying to
line up a torpedo shot on the ship, he turned the helm over and
bore down on the U-Boat which was forced to crash dive in order
to avoid him. It appears that the U-Boat passed from starboard to
port under the ship as it surfaced close enough to the ship so that,
as Capt. Fryatt reported "you could have easily hung your hat
on the periscope as she lay along side us". The U-Boat then
disappeared never to be seen again. Capt. Fryatt was awarded another
gold watch, this time by the Admiralty. Captain Fryatt continued
his voyages for another fifteen months until on the 23rd June, 1916,
he was trapped by a flotilla of German torpedo boats and taken to
Zeebrugge. For his audacity in rescuing Allied troops and for his
breach of military etiquette, Fryatt was summarily shot by his captors.
Captain Fryatt was one of the very few British casualties to be
repatriated for burial and he was also one of the even smaller group
to be repatriated post-war. He was buried at Dovercourt, Essex on
9th July 1919 having been executed at Bruges on 27th July 1916. |
