Dear Adi, I presume when you refer to "ENGLISH " seamen that in fact you really mean "BRITISH " seamen.

Dear all, Concurrent with my other query about naval courts, I'm wondering where to look for records of injured English seamen left behind in foreign ports. This would have happened in Nov./Dec. of 1863 somewhere in the Eastern Mediterranean. Would it have been reported to the nearest Consul? That supposedly unlucky first mate turned out to be the only survivor of the ship which left him behind.
