Recommendations for Reading about 19th Century Mariners?
« on: Sunday 30 August 15 22:56 BST (UK) »
I haven't cemented a connection to any Scottish mariners as yet, but would still like to know something about merchant seaman in the 19th century. Can anyone point me towards some reading on the topic? Much obliged for any suggestions.

19th century British seamen for starters
Lots to read there,
Good Luck,
