Does anyone have any info on the RMSP in the West Indies in 1893 - 1898?

What kind of information?  Can you be more specific please?

Are you researching an ancestor who was connected to the RMSPS?  If so - could you give his name etc as that can sometimes help with info

My ancestor William James Smith was the superintendent of the West Indies Service. I am interested in the service rather than the man who was resident in Barbados during his term of office in the 1890s.

Personally,  I would visit one of the maritime museums.

Liverpool, the maritime museum is excellent.
