I suspect the Captain Blood you refer to was a Captain Neptune Blood an infamous seafarer who was renowned for pressganging people into service with him. So much so that I know there was a vast amount of correspondance directed to him from relatives of missing persons asking if he had their relative in service with him. I cannot from memory remember where the correspondance was sent to but somewhere in my chaotic filing system I have a letter addressed to him. I will have a look and see if I can find it and if so will pass the details to the list. If anyone knows anything else about this man I too would be interested in the details. Keith Rippin
