Message Board Post:

Trying to verify family lore that a distant uncle (Michael O'Brien) was an engineer on the "President". Any suggestions where I can find a listing of the crew and an accurate history? Family lore talks about it being attacked by pirates, but I've also seen where it was hit by an iceburg. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks.
