I am trying to find Crew Agreements (engagement and discharge data) or Log Books for the New Brunswick registered Schooner MAGELLAN, ON86970, 226 tons. She was built at Hopewell New Brunswick in 1882, and originally owned by Council T. Wood. In 1890 the registered owner was George H Irving of Saint John. I am particularly interested in the year 1887 and the seaman Arthur Hayward who was an AB on the MAGELLAN at this time. His previous ship was the LOTTIE STEWART, also registered Saint John, and I have the Crew Agreements for this vessel. The Crew Agreements for the MAGELLAN are not at The National Archives at Kew, nor at the Maritime History Archive in St Johns Newfoundland. I have also tried the Library and Archives of Canada in Ottawa with no success. I would be grateful for any suggestions on where I might be able to find information regarding this vessel.
