	Where would get a copy of my great grandad and his sons official log book which gives details of when and where they sailed to and possibly have a photo of them. My great grandad was a stoker and I don't know what his son did on the ships. Talking from around 1880-1930's. Thanks

	If it was Royal Navy, you should be able to download from National Archives site. No photos but a description, including tattoos!
