Hi Lizzie,

The crew agreements are at the Maritime History Archive, not the provincial archives.  MHA have rotten hours, daytime only and they close for lunch so basically I can never get there even though I live in the same town. And yes, without a ship name it's tough. I had a bit of a stroke of luck to find my g-grandfather on the Rosebud.    I've traced his travels to 1900 in South Africa, but so far no luck finding his next ship, so I feel your pain.

Hi J

I am researching Capt Enon......he is related to a friend who asked me to do her family tree - found your messages very interesting and in case you are interested I have a number of Enons discharge papers from various sailings which are too large filewise to post here
