I have had a few threads on about James Long 1862-1938 ships greaser being in a sea disaster, the ship caught fire and he was adrift for four days in an open boat. When? Ship name? A family member said today they think he was in the Merchant or Royal Navy in WW1. |

I have him in 1881 docker, 1891 mariner,1901 marine fireman. Had another look on National Archives and he ain't there that I can see. He was born in Killkenny Ireland and sometimes put Liverpool as place of birth. |

Where would I find a log of his working life, when, where, what ships he worked on during his life. He was from Liverpool. Would I need to get intouch with shipping lines such as Cunard? |
