Was your dad a passenger or a crew member till 1943? U.S., Canadian or British citizen? If he was crew the records and logs with more details of crew should be available in an archive or mariner's library.
As for info you are looking for...personal, genealogy or WWII experiences,duties and fellow crew mates?
