Title: Names of the Ships written by hand on this Admittance form.
Post by: MAPS on Wednesday 13 December 17 10:44 GMT (UK)
Hi there,

I find it impossible to read the handwriting in the "Ships served on, R.Navy and Merchant Navy" columns. The only R.Naval ship I know is the Brunswick. What are the other two/three ?
 I can manage the Merchant ship column OK.
The period is from about 1790 - 1821.

Here's hoping.  MAPS

It's too small to read as it is and it pixelates if you zoom in. Could you possibly copy it then crop it so it just shows the relevant info then post again?

Thank you very much Bookbox ! You are right about the Brunswick as I have a document that confirms it.
