I would recommend contacting the National Maritime Museum. They were very helpful to me. http://www(.)nmm(.)ac(.)uk/ take out the brackets as usual. Then click on the tab with 'Research' on it and you can find a link to contact them. Good luck Maz. XX

David According to my birthday present book Ancestral Trails, records are scattered. The National Archives holds a random sample of 10% of agreements and crew lists up to 1938. The National Maritime Museum has records for 1905. Some County Record Offices hold lists for local ports. Helen
