Hoping one of the knowledgeable listers can help me. The barque Esperance sailed from New York to Brisbane 1893/4. I have a problem in the Crew List where 4 men are noted as E. B. I'm familiar with A. B. of course but this has stumped me. I suspect it may be Dutch. One other member of the crew is the Kok, and I've found that to be equivalent to the English word Cook.
