Europe / Re: Belgium, Antwerp December 1956 - Death of unknown seaman aboard SS Levenpool
« on: Today at 14:59 »
As already stated there appears to be no death at sea registered for that ship at that time.
There is no Ship's Official Logbook for LEVENPOOL official number 168941 indexed at the MHA in Canada which is where the vast majority of logbooks are held for this era. That may not be a problem however as most are not indexed for this time but are held off site and would need to be searched by their staff.
So hopefully they will have a logbook and if so the Master would have noted in the narrative section of the log what happened. Even if no logbook has survived they will probably still have the Crew Agreement which in itself would indicate who was discharged dead.
You should email them but make sure you ask for LEVENPOOL official numnber 168941 and the dates you need. They are very helpful but there will be a charge for any documents they send to you. I am not sure of their basic costs.
MHA Canada contact details for research: mhares@mun.ca
