Deciphering name of a ship
« on: Tuesday 12 November 13 12:28 GMT (UK) »
From an 1881 crew agreement. The work below the main name may be the port it was registered at.
Any ideas gratefully received.
Thanks,
Sam

If you can, please post a few more lines of the surrounding text for comparison, with no whiting out. It might be easier to help if we could see a little more of the page.

Could be Macedonian? Can't make out the port of registry.

Did you obtain the crew agreement online from here.
http://www.mun.ca/mha/1881/crews1881.php
If not where did you obtain it and were there any numbers 5 or 6 digits,attached.
 As far as I can tell after a quick search,there was only one vessel around in 1881 with the name MACEDONIAN offical number 26772 A Snow of 216 tons registered at North Shields.

As already stated MACEDONIAN was registered in North Shields but agree it looks like Newcatle on the attachment

Hi all,

Thanks for ideas. Could it be "Macedonia" which was registered at Newcastle? (ON 19739)

Seaweed, thanks, yes I got the crew list from MHA's 1881 project.

Best,
Sam
