Kellie-ann Flower and Anne Tighe-Pearson are researching on behalf of families who are traumatised after learning that their father and grandfather was secretly deported. Hundreds of men, women and children have been affected by this racist event that happened in Liverpool after WWII.

From 1946 the British Government forcibly deported over 2300 Chinese seamen who had worked for Blue Funnel Shipping Line. Beginning in those autumn months of 1945, the Blue Funnel repatriation ships were anchored out in the middle of the Mersey, their cargo hatches empty of the usual crates and barrels, and instead rigged up with makeshift bunkbeds. The Liverpool police and immigration officers drove around the city, in particular to multi-occupancy addresses in Chinatown, such as the Alfred Holt-run boarding houses, rounding up the men and taking them out to the anchored ships, from which there was then no escape.

Kellie-ann and Ann are grandchildren of deported seamen and are researching on behalf of the families, they need funds to pay for research sites and to visit the Archives in Kew. They want to help people who need counselling and who want to take a DNA test to find out where their heritage. The Government is not offering help and support. They need answers before it is too late. The 'children' are now 80 and want to know the truth.
