Dear All I am back from holiday. I have made the request below with no success but perhaps I will have better luck this time! I am researching religious missions to canal boatmen in the 19th and 20th centuries. A colleague and I have quite a lot of information but would welcome more on the subject Also if anyone could tell us the whereabouts of any copies of The Waterman from 1948 onwards, we would be deeply grateful. We can access them from 1894 to 1947 but want to know more about the last days of the magazine and the society. The Waterman was published by the Seamen and Boatmen's Friend Society, formed in 1850 and now defunct. The magazine was distributed amongst boatmen as well as to mission supporters and we are hoping that some copies may have survived. Gill
