Apologies if this is a duplicate of a previous message. I don't know if the Register of Shipping and Seamen has its own web page but this site may be of interest - http://yourarchives.nationalarchives.gov.uk/index.php?title=Registrar-General_of_Shipping_and_Seamen I got my registry entry from www.scotlandspeople.gov.uk which is the web site for the Registrar General of Scotland. -- Kind regards Mike Clouston P.S. Say 'Hello' to Stonecutters Island for me, please :-) Shyama Peebles wrote: > Hello - can you tell me if this > Registry of Shipping you refer to > has a web address? > It sounds most interesting > Many thanks > Shyama Peebles > Hong Kong
