- Did your ancestor serve in the Royal Navy, the Royal Marines, or was he a Coastguard or a Customs & Excise man? Their service career will allow you a fascinating insight into their lives at sea.
- Did you have a seaman ancestor in the Merchant Navy? Would you like to discover their service records, and find out about their lives afloat? And find details of the ships they sailed in?
- Did you or a relative serve during WWl or WWll? Would you like to re-live that voyage, discover the strategy surrounding the convoy, read copies of the official documents giving minute-by-minute accounts of the action?
- Do you want to retrace your own life in the Merchant Navy? Copies of ship logs, crew lists, fleet information, and shipping company records may all be available. Plans, drawings and photographs can often be traced. Descriptions and details of shipbuilding and ownership can be extracted from original ship registration documents.
- Did your ancestor emigrate to pastures new? Their name may be contained in records of emigrant ships, or they may appear in UK passenger lists which date from 1890.
