Reading a naval Discharge book record help

[Horsley2016]

Hello there.

Attached is the record of one Daniel Kennedy. It looks like he was buried at sea in 1928.

Can anyone read / interpret any more of the slanted scrawl, that might help me identify which ship he would have been on?

Many thanks

Hi.
Have you got a Card CR2 for him. (Available from FindMyPast) On the reverse of the card his ships should be listed by official number. Use the "CLIP" website to find the name/s of the vessels her served on.

Thanks Seaweed.

I’ve got this (see attached) but it doesn’t seem to go as far as 1928?

Daniel Kennedy died at sea on 1.7.1928 from heart failure aboard ss DEMOSTHENES official number 129362. The ship’s position was 50.25N 6.40W.

He has a CR1 and a CR2 card as well as the CR10 card shown above. The other cards show a list of further ships up until 1928.

Thank you. May I ask what CR1 , 2 and 10 cards are for? Are they all logs? Where might I find this information from? I'm very grateful.

That appears to be the reverse of his card CR10.
In September 1918 the Board of Trade introduced an identity book, including a passport style photograph, for all merchant seamen working from British ports, together with a matching central card index (CR10 cards). Each card lists personal and foreign voyage detail for the seaman and a good quality photograph.The system operated until 1921 when it was simplified and the photograph dropped. After this date until 1941 The Cards CR1/CR2 was used to record the ships he served on.
Crew agreements and Logbooks can be obtained from three major sources. Read this guide.

I also have him on ss MAXTON and ss BALTIC in 1915 You can see his name in the crew agreements of both ships at his link - https://1915crewlists.rmg.co.uk/ just go to advanced search input his name and place of birth, Liverpool, should do it.
