Can anyone help me find information on the ship Duffield, built in 1894 (unique ID 101848). I believe it was built in Willington Quay, Tyneside but can't find any other information. I am particularly interested in who owned it and its voyages just after the end of WW1 when I know my grandfather was a member of the crew. Thanks Alan
