Here is the Clan Forbes crew picture. My grandfather Charles McIver is sat on the front row with his arms folded. He was born in 1871 - my guess is that this was the ship he was on before the Clan Campbell. I think he finished his working life with the White Star line. From a remark between my father and grandmother when I was a child, I think he was on the Clan Campbell when it was sunk (without loss of life). I also attach the Clan Campbell 1915 roster from the national archives. I also attach a text from  a newspaper that I found on the web. I have the original in.PDF but I doubt you'd want to publish that. 
Can anyone put names to the other Officers in the photograph ?
