One of the son's of Ernest Thorpe( Malcolm I think) did not like the name Seddon Atkinson so he had some special name badges made and fixed them over the S/A. I think it was a wise move it sure looks better.
A personal thrill for me to meet one of the six survivors of the S.S. Poseidon.
Mr. Borgnine is a class act, and a very nice guy.

En la Ciudad de VIENA, la Capital de Austria, encuentro un multitud de provocaciones sensoriales que me impulsan a Pintar sin parar. Los Interiores de la Catedral de San Esteban es un surtido infinito de lugares en los que poder capturarla mágica atmósfera de estos lugares, mediante las Pinturas en Acuarelas puedo ejecutar con soltura y cierta rapidez estos Paisajes Vieneses tan queridos por mí como artista Pintor ERNEST DESCALS. Son las manchas que se funde siempre con respeto por el dibujo de los detalles, aunque no importan tanto como el recoger la Esencia Plástica que Todo lo explica sin exceso de detallismo. Pinturas a la Acuarela que quieren ser frescas en su ejecución para conseguir introducirme en las Verdades más profundas. Me interesa aprovechar los Viajes que desde Manresa, Barcelona, Catalunya, se emprenden para sumergirse en el Alma de las Ciudades y de sus habitantes. Pocas técnicas artísticas poseen el encanto y la Magia que siempre nos sorprende al plasmarla en los Cuadros que tienen al Agua mezclada con cierta cantidad de pigmentos,el Medio natural de los Acuarelistas.

I must have walked past this grave a hundred times and not clocked it in St John's.
Water Spradbery was an artist and poster designer.
Designed quite a lot of posters for the London Underground.
Some more background.
Thank you to whoever put the information sheet down which drew my attention.

Big, burly Scottish-born character actor Ernest Torrence (1878-1933) appeared in many Hollywood films form 1916 on. A towering figure, he frequently played cold-eyed and imposing heavies, but played most of his bad guys with tongue firmly in cheek. Torrence’s films include including Tol'able David (1921) opposite Richard Barthelmess, Mantrap (1926) with Clara Bow, and Sherlock Holmes (1932) in one of his last roles as Holmes’s nemesis Professor Moriarty.
Ernest Thayson Torrance-Thompson was born to Colonel Henry Torrence Thayson and Jessie (née Bryce) in 1878, in Edinburgh, Scotland. His younger brother was the actor David Torrence. As a child, Ernest was an exceptional pianist and operatic baritone and he graduated from the Stuttgart Conservatory, Edinburgh Academy before earning a scholarship at London's Royal Academy of Music. He toured with the D'Oyly Carte Opera Company in such productions as The Emerald Isle (1901) and The Talk of the Town (1905) before disarming vocal problems set in and he was forced to abandon this career path. Sometime prior to 1900, he changed the spelling of Torrance to Torrence and dropped the name Thomson. Both Ernest and his actor brother David Torrence went to America, in March 1911, directly from Scotland prior to the First World War. Focusing instead on a purely acting career, Ernest and his brother developed into experienced players on the Broadway New York stage. Ernest received significant acclaim with Modest Suzanne in 1912, and a prominent role in The Night Boat in 1920 brought him to the attention of the early Hollywood filmmakers.
Ernest Torrence played the moronic, twitch-eyed thief Luke Hatburn in Tol'able David (Henry King, 1921) opposite Richard Barthelmess and made his mark as a cinema villain. He settled into films for the rest of his career and life. He next played Colleen Moore’s abusive husband in Broken Chains (Alan Holubar, 1922). Torrence gave a sympathetic portrayal of a grizzled old codger in the acclaimed classic western The Covered Wagon (James Cruze, 1923) and gained attention from his roles in The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Wallace Worsley, 1923) as Clopin, king of the beggars, opposite Lon Chaney, and in Peter Pan (Herbert Brenon, 1924) as an outrageous Captain Hook opposite Betty Bronson as Peter. Bob Eddwards: “Walt Disney used Torrance as the model for Hook in his own 1953 animated version of Peter Pan.” He played an Army General who escapes into the circus world and becomes a clown in The Side Show of Life (Herbert Brenon, 1924). In an offbeat bit of casting he paired up with Clara Bow in Mantrap (Victor Fleming, 1926), unusually as a gentle, bear-like backwoodsman in search of a wife. He appeared in other silent film classics such as the epic The King of Kings (Cecil B. DeMille 1927) as Peter, and Steamboat Bill Jr. (Charles Reisner, 1928) as Buster Keaton's steamboat captain father.
During the course of his twelve-year film career, Ernest Torrence made 49 films, both silent and sound films. Torrence made the transition into sound films very well, starring in the Western Fighting Caravans (Otto Brower, David Burton, 1931) with Gary Cooper and Lili Damita. He was able to play a notable nemesis, Dr. Moriarty, to Clive Brook's Sherlock in Sherlock Holmes (William K. Howard, 1932) in one of his last roles. Filming for I Cover the Waterfront (James Cruze, 1933), in which he starred as a smuggler opposite Ben Lyon and Claudette Colbert in New York, had just been completed when he died suddenly on 15 May 1933. He was only 54. While en route to Europe by ship, Torrence suffered an acute attack of gall stones and was rushed back to a New York hospital. He died of complications following surgery. Ernest Torrence was married to Elsie Reamer Bedbrook and he had one child, Ian Torrence. Gary Brumburgh at IMDb: “He was the man you loved to hiss. This towering (6' 4"), highly imposing character star with cold, hollow, beady eyes and a huge, protruding snout would go on to become one of the silent screen's finest arch villains.”
