Here is a short list of some names from the microfilm recently in at the local FHC. I have seen a CD for sale of Seaman's Tickets in various Scotland counties, if anyone has this CD can they perhaps check the names against what is in this film ? I'll not spend hours transcribing some of these if they are already viewable on a CD. This one shows the original handwritten register books for the trips out and back of various sailing ships plus other information. Here are the names in the first few filmed pages. If they are to be gotten online or have been published already, I'll use my time to better advantage doing items not yet transcribed. Much of the handwriting is quite difficult to read anyway.
