help wanted as to Maritime Museums
« on: Thursday 23 April 15 12:54 BST (UK) »
I am from Australia and will be visiting Belgium and Netherlands in May and want to visit the best maritime museum which may help me trace my grandfather. Some advice as to where to go, which is best source, can I see crew lists of trading ships, merchant ships around 1912 -1913, particularly a ship called "Worms." i only have a day in or around Antwerp and a day in Amsterdam.
thanks
Tavy
