1. [Mariners-L] Wartime sinking [1]
For Dave Edge, Dave, I saw your comments for someone else about a particular U-boat sinking a ship in 1942. Do you have a source for seeking these sort of details. My father-in-law, now 91, was torpedoed while Third Mate of the Elmdene off West Africa in 1941 and while I can find details of where it happened in Lloyds, it would be nice to know which U-boat did it. Cheers, Martin Southwood
2. [Mariners-L] "Gaucho" [1]
I am seeking information about the above named ship as a great uncle - Frederick Crighton - was listed in 1876 as the master of the ship. His master's certificate was issued at Yokohama on the 24 day of the 7th month of the 12 year of the Maji., and I would like to see details of all of Frederick Crighton's career as it appears he had mutinies on board and sailed between Japan and England ultimately dying in the South Chine seas, but have not been able to prove any of this. Any assistance and details of the

4. Fw: [Mariners-L] Mark D'Arcy, captain of the "Aurangie" [1]
Hi Michael, In your database of 19th century mariners, do you have anything on the name Aylward? I am trying to trace (christian name unknown) Aylward who appears as a shipowner on his daughter's death certificate in 1867. He was deceased in 1867 but may have been a shipowner around the beginning of the 19th century. Don't know whether a shipowner would also be classified as a mariner. I am new to all this and, despite being overwhelmed by lots of information supplied on this list as to places to look, I

6. [Mariners-L] Logs, Agreements & Crew Lists, British Merchant Ships [1]
The following information may be useful for anyone wishing to trace Official Logs, Agreements and Crew Lists of British merchant ships. Note that none of these records have been filmed. The Merchant Shipping Act of 1835 required crew lists and related documents to be filed with the Register Office of Merchant Seamen (now the RGSS). There were different types of crew list, dependant on the particular voyage. In addition to information relating to the voyages, it may be possible to identify the seaman's tic

8. [Mariners-L] F. A. Worrall,1875, Bark Vanguard [1]
Hello to all Mariner's Listers; All the wonderful helpfulness here has led to this inquiry about our family legend. ------------------------------------------------------------ Our family used to have the journal of our "Sea Captain", Frederick Arthur WORRALL, born 1855 in Manchester, England. The journal was lost in unfortunate circumstances, but family stories oft repeated were that Frederick was Master of the barque "VANGUARD" in an 1875 voyage from England to San Francisco "around the horn". -----------

11. [Mariners-L] Chief Engineer [1]
Would someone please give me some information. My grandfather Charles Sutling was Chief Engineer in the Merchant Navy from around 1870 - 1900. (These details on the marriage certificate of his daughter) I have yet to find him or ship. My question is: What did the job entail in those times, how would he have trained and would he have been ranked an officer - if so at what level. Probably an easy question for most of you, but I am curious and it may help to find him. Thank you in advance, Regards, Marion

The following information may be of interest to those who wish to trace the death of a British merchant seaman at sea. The General Register Office's Marine Registers record deaths at sea on ships registered in Great Britain or Ireland from 1 July 1837. These are available through LDS libraries everywhere. The IGI covers events 'at sea.' Less well known however are the records held at the Public Record Office in Kew, England.

Hi Jim, Capt. KENDRICK is an entry I have here also. Line # 649 - "Barque BUSY, Kendrick (master), was spoken Apr. 20, 1880 at Lat. 41 40 N. & Lon. 63 30 W. from Messina for Philadelphia." (The Ships' Locator, 1998) Now, that would be interesting & fun to pinpoint on a chart for that exact day and position at sea a "freeze-frame" in history for your great grandfather! Cheers...

23. [Mariners-L] HMS Colossus [1]
Hi All Another new member. I had been led to believe, via a history book that my forefather FROST had served as a powder monkey with Lord Nelson. I have located the log for Trafalgar and the only FROST is a William who served as a RM on board the HMS Colossus. Regardless of any facts I have now developed an interest in this battle.
