Best wishes Mercel

You could try this site
http://www.nmm.ac.uk/server/show/nav.005002006000003
Also Google Merchant Navy History.
National Archive also has a site.
My husband is a ret. MN officer and apprenticed to a shipping co. had to study at sea and go to lectures etc. during his leaves .
The School in London still exists(Sir John Cass) but I believe no longer has MN course .Others existed in Newcastle and I believe Dr. Bernardo's also has a training school.Engineers up to around the 1960-70's trained in the Dockyards first and then went to sea. Apprenticeships for Engineers came in around this time. Their exams were taken at the colleges ,after they had completed so many days actually at sea.
Hope this helps.
Spring
P.S when my husband went up to sit his masters ,I knew as much about Ships Law as he did!

I'm looking for an Alphonso Tiffen, described as a Master Mariner and a Sea Captain, based in Sunderland.You'd think with a name like that he'd be easy to find.

Local Records Offices sometimes have some useful stuff. One of my ancestors was a Master Mariner who sailed from Littlehampton, Sussex (interestingly he sailed to and from Sunderland regularly)
The Sussex Record Office had some ships records, quarterly returns, crew lists etc for ships he sailed - very patchy as to what has survived so could never piece together his whole career or anytihng, but very interesting all the same.
I dont know if you would, therefore, find anything at the appropiate records office for Sunderland.

Just a thought - but if we all keep a look out for each others names then we've more chance of finding them!
