1. [British Mariners] Trying to find ship listed on First World War Naval Service Record [1]
Hello List I wonder if someone can help decipher a ships name from a recently acquired first world war naval service record. The period in question was from1916 to 1918, joining the ship on the 1st February 1916 from Devonport (Vivid II) It's very difficult to read but looks like Bexinger or Lexinger, certainly the last letters are ...nger. I'd be happy to send a copy to anyone off list who may be able to help, or perhaps someone may know from the information given. Any help would be greatly appreciate
2. Re: [British Mariners] Marion Tatterson - River Weaver [1]
Hi Carl, I've searched for this ship and her essential Official Number. As she has an unusual name I thought this would be easy, but, no success, however, without any doubt, she will have had one, and you will need this to positely identify her for records purposes. I can find no records of her by name only at the usual archives and so, being a relatively new ship, you might therefore try the Marine Coastguard Agency: http://www.mcga.gov.uk/c4mca/ukr-home.htm I would also suggest you contact th
3. [British Mariners] Ship Hazard 1844 [1]
I am trying to find the crew list to the British ship Hazard. My greatgrandfather might have been aboard the ship. He deserted a British ship while in port at Honolulu. According to family stories he was part of the Royal Navy and was in Hawaii in 1848. Is there any way to find the crew besides visiting the National Archives? Thanks.

9. [British Mariners] Robert Bentham - Master Mariner [1]
Hello Lister's, I am hoping someone can do a search on the Register of Seamen BT 113. My GGgrandfather, Robert Bentham, born 5 Feb 1812 in Yarm Yorkshire, was a sailor/mariner/master mariner at least from the years 1838 to 1861. I have tried to access the microfilm from various sources here in Canada, but unfortunately with no success. From my understanding, these registers would give his physical description, so would really appreciate any help. Thanking you for your time, Scott B Canada
10. [British Mariners] Naval Record [1]
Hello, I am researchiing the life of my uncle William Henry Hogg. I have a copy of his Naval service record from the National Archives.On the top of the sheet it has Devonport 226686.B UnderB the section 'date and period of C S engagement' is written 7th May 1904-12 years.

16. [British Mariners] Royal Naval Service Record - Hard to Decipher [1]
Hello All Many thanks for all the help and suggestions. Do lists of crew members survive for particular ships that this could be cross referenced against? "List and Number" on the service record was mentioned - as a novice looking at naval service records can anyone enlighten me as to the relevance of this. Also "Sub Ratings" given as G1 and R1? In the "Character" column it states eg VG 31.12.12 Sat. What were the two aspects of character referred to as very good and satisfactory? Many thanks once again.

Hi again Rob, Thoughts from an expert (Paul Benyon): "Someone on the list has suggested Revenger, but I've not got a vessel with that name in my database - to me it looks like ?evenge I - i.e. ending in a Roman One. She must have been a fairly large vessel since she appears to have been self-accounting rather than being a tender to a larger vessel - his ship's book list and number is 5A2/29, rather than 12/29 had she been a tender - and I'm wondering if she isn't an armed merchant cruiser or something si
18. Re: [British Mariners] Trying to find ship listed on First World WarNaval Service Record [1]
Hi Rob, after chatting with Paul Benyon, I think it is safe to say your ship was H.M.S. Revenge, commissioned on 1st. Feb 1916 (a coincidence of dates) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HMS_Revenge_(1915) If you use google images you will find los of photos of ships with that name, Chris ----- Original Message ----- From: "ROB SHEPHERD" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 18, 2009 4:33 PM Subject: [British Mariners] Trying to find ship listed on Fi

22. Re: [British Mariners] FANNY OF MONTROSE [1]
Margie, If the ship was sailing to Greenland, she was most likely a whaler. Basil Lubbock's book "Arctic Whalers" (Brown, Son and Ferguson, Glasgow, 1937) records a whaler named Fanny which made voyages to Greenland in the 1790s, but she seems to have been based at Hull, not Montrose. Her master was Captain R. Taylor. I don't know what chance there is that this is the same vessel, having changed her home port since the 1780s. But there is no mention of the Fanny in his account of whaling in the
