HMS Ship name
« on: Monday 09 February 09 13:00 GMT (UK) »
Good afternoon,

I was wondering if someone maybe able to help in decipher the name of the ship from a birth cert in 1886, Plymouth

I thought at first it was HMS Harty, but i think i am wrong

The father's name is Samuel Emmanuel Goff and classed as seaman on his occupation.

Also would there be any info on the Ship and also Samuel ?

Many thanks in advance for any help

Pam
