If you wish to confirm your man was on board JTS official number 45295 Her crew agreements for 1911 are with the Maritime History Archive.

Looks as though she was engaged in the Home Trade, i.e. coasting around the British Isles and Near Continent.
James Fisher who owned JTS at the time in question, was a well known Barrow ship owner. Founded in 1847 and still operating today.
