And of course the subsequent execution of Captain Fryatt of the GER ship, which is all taken from extensive research by and an interview with Mark P Baker of the GER Society. There is also, as mentioned in the BBC on-line article, an exhibition titled 'Captain Fryatt - The Martyr of Bruges' that Mark has arranged at the Masonic Hall, Ferndale Road, Harwich between Saturday 23rd and Sunday 31st July, open between 10.00 and 18.00 each day.
