Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Completed: Certificate of Discharge - Description of Voyage

Any ideas on where the Una sailed to? Between the script and the regular use of abbreviations in these documents I am stumped with this one.

Angus (Forfarshire) / Montrose Whaling Fleet
« on: Saturday 29 October 16 20:13 BST (UK)  »
Searches on the web have only found me fairly general information about the Montrose Whaling Fleet. I am trying to find out if there is any repository holding crew lists or ships logbooks for the first 35 years of the 19th century. I am not looking for somebody to do lookups, just to know if which location, if any to visit.

I am trying to fill in background information on my ggg grandfather John Fraser (1799-1834). He was a harpooner and was lost at sea in 1834 so I suspect that he was on the London, which I believe was the only Montrose whaler to be lost in that year.

Angus (Forfarshire) / Montrose - High Street
« on: Tuesday 18 August 15 16:24 BST (UK)  »
I wondered if anybody knew if properties in the High Street have been renumbered since the 1851 census? My great great Grandfather Alexander Crabb was a baker and in 1851 was at number 74.

Thanks
