2. Re: [Mar] Crocodile [1]
Hi Ann and William According to the Navy List for 1879 they were all of the same size ie 6211 tons, and looking through the specifications it would appear that the engines were also supposed to be the same at 700 Nominal HP, but Indicated Horse Power appears to tell a slightly different story, and some would "appear" to be better performers than others - but perhaps the Engineers on the list can comment ? The IHP varies between some 4893 for Malabar down to 3044 for Jumna. Where the Captain's Steward loo
3. [Mar] Voyage to Hong Kong [1]
Hello List, Can SKS help me with the time it would take a RN Ship to get from Plymouth to Hong Kong in 1881? On 24 Jan 1881 my Gt grandfather transferred from Royal Adelaide (which was I think at Devonport) to HMS Tyne (I haven't found the log for HMS Tyne yet). Then on 26 March 1881 he Transferred to HMS Vigilant. According to the Log, HMS Vigilant was in Hong Kong on the date of the Census, 3 April 1881 when he is listed as 2nd Capt Fore Top. So was this time to get from Plymouth to Hong Kong and did per

Hello Val In answer to your question there are several places where the deaths may be recorded including the PRO, GRO Marine Death Indices, Consular Records and Deaths Abroad Indices, there doesn't seem to be any one place for all of the records and will vary according to year of death, circumstances etc. However from the GRO Marine Deaths (1837-1965) I found the following entry that may be of interest:- There is a Thomas Rees whose death is recorded between the years 1846-1855, couldn't find entries fo
5. [Mar] Norfolk County [1]

7. [Mar] Navy man in Constantinople [1]
Hello all, Several people on this list have already helped me with my naval ancestor, James Peers. He apparently was serving as Lieutenant on the Kent in 1738, but I'm trying to find out where he was in 1737. Family lore said he was British Ambassador to Constantinople at that time, but that's not the case. I wondered if he might have been a naval attachi or some such. Is there any way to find out where the Kent might have been in 1737? I've already had a researcher check at Kew, but there are minimal

Robert asked, "...where I can check up on a relation, known to have been in the RN in 1901?" If he was in the RN in 1901 there's a fair chance you can pick him up on the on-line 1901 census Robert - it would give you a start anyway, rank/rating etc.. Brian

10. [Mar] HMS Emerald, HMS Genoa, HMS Talbot and HMS Scylla - early 19th Century [1]
Dear List Members, I am trying to find out some information about these Navy Ships (Emerald, Genoa, Talbot and Scylla), but am not sure how to go about it. What I would like to find out is: 1) When they were built/commissioned. 2) When and where they went and what their involement was. I realise that question 2 is a BIG question ! so I really do need some guidance. They were all in use during the early part of the 19th century (at least up to 1830). Any help is much appreciated. Simon Knights.

16. Re: [Mar] Hired A.B. (Eman.) 4 March, in court 5 March 1801? [1]
Hi everyone, But was the "John Johnson" actually the "Jorgen Gorgensen" whose notoriety has caused at least 2 books to be written about him and his escapades? Jorgen Jorgenson tried to get a ride on the Lady Nelson in September 1800 from the Cape of Good Hope to Sydney. But he was not allowed to join the ship as Lt. Grant had to take Dr. Brandt and his dog and monkey! See:- www.tased.edu.au/tasonline/ladynel/index.htm - and look for the Log of the Maiden Voyage under History. Cheers, Glyn.

21. [Mar] New subscriber - help needed [1]
Morning :-) My father John (Philip/Jack) CARR arrived at Ellis Island 12th Nov. 1920. He said he was 13 1/2 but I think he had just turned 14. He visited an uncle in Denver, Colorado. They didn't "get-on" and he ran away ... By 1924 he was back in England. He always said he was at one time in the merchant navy and as he never left England again it must have been between the end of 1920 and 1924. Would it have been possible ? to become a crew member in the States just to get back to England ? Was it possi
22. Re: [Mar] Stoker RN [1]
Hi Janet There were still a number of sailing ships in service around during this period, but more and more steam ships were coming into service. The transition started in the 1830s, but the change over was very slow, with many of the older admirals, ie those with influence, still living in the past, and unable to imagine the benefits that steam could give them. By the 1850s vessels designed for sail were being given steam engines and some of the older vessels were also being fitted out with steam - so t

25. [Mar] Crew or Crew agreement CD lookup [1]
Hullo, Can someone do a lookup on this CD for James Roche/Roach? He was discharged from the Royal Navy in 1867, as far as I know he did not reinlist but joined the Merchant Marine instead. I don't know what information is on the CD but he was born Whitegate Co. Cork around 1836, may have been killed or died from natural causes while onboard ship in the Merchant marine, (one family story says knifed to death). The last record which I have for him is the birth of his daughter in Queenstown in 1869. The R
