ThanksAlex. I now would like to know where I can view a copy of this 1850-1920 Mercantile Navy List. I was told that Google has a copy of the 1864 list. If all else fails I am sure the Britsh MuseumLibrary will have a copy as they along withthe Bodelian Library at Oxford have a copy of every publication written. Someone may make my life easeir though. A photocopy of the original would be great.
