One of my british ancestors, a Navy Pensioner, at one time was aboard the HMS Minden (quite famous ship). The ship was built in India for the Royal Navy in 1810, it was used in the war of 1812 and stayed in use for many years after. After searching the internet for hours, I find loads of facts about this famous ship but find no photo or even a pencil sketch. Is there SKS that may be able to suggest where I might find a photo or sketch of this ship please?

Regarding ships and ship information. One good source for information and conversation with other researchers is the Rootsweb email group: www.theshipslist.com Try it, you'll enjoy it. Amazing just to read the queries and the responses alone. They helped me determine which route my grandfather's ship would've taken from Liverpool to New York, etc. -- but remember, it is just one tool. Have fun with it.
