Good morning I think I am looking for the proverbial needle, but I would very much like to find any corroboration of the following-- Alexander Mckeich Crighton was probably 1st mate (as he had a Mates certificate but not a Masters) of a ship wrecked off Cuba about 1857-61. He had probably left from Scotland. He was born in Port Glasgow 1822 and said to be "about 35" when shipwrecked. He was taken to Jamaica to get a ship home, which he did not in fact do. His name is variously spelled Crichton and Creighton. I understand there were newspapers in Cuba at the time, but I have no idea how to access them , nor can I read Spanish! There is a website with passenger lists! If only someone had written down the name of the ship! if it were easy......... Clare A Oxford UK
