There are lots of Wessex mariners in the searchable database of ships and their crews (and passengers where there were any) in port or in coastal waters around the UK on my website. Latest updates are for Cardigan, Cornwall, Cumberland, Hull (Yorks) & Chepstow (Mon) plus two training ships - the Clio at Anglesey & the Mount Edgecombe at Saltash, Cornwall.
