Powell D then in the lowest box "Department or series code" write BT 372 You'll get a list of all seamen with the surname and place of birth. The date attached to the record is the d.o.b. of the seaman not the registration date. From there you can order the docs for 6pounds 50 for 5 jpegs. They come to your email address within a couple of hours if you order before 13.00
