PHOTOGRAPH GALLERY THREE
John (Jack) Sloan
The photographs appearing in this gallery come from the records of John (Jack) Sloan who served on HMS Seamew as she patrolled the West River from April of 1930 to September of 1931. John Sloan was born in South Shields in 1907 and joined the Royal Navy in 1926. He continued in service through World War II and was eventually discharged in 1948. Photographs from the West River are quite rare and this gallery provides some fascinating insight into the state of southern China during the times.

I am immensely grateful to the Sloan family for permitting these photographs to be posted on the site. Requests to use these photographs are welcome, but publication (by any means) may only occur with prior approval of the Sloan family. Inquires regarding these photographs should be made to Ian Sloan.
