Another update.
We have over the years had many people write to us asking about tracing relatives who they think might have served in the Merchant Navy, I'm afraid we hold no records of the crew lists or sailings ourselves but can only point you in the right directions to the people who do hold these records. To save everyone time anyone trying to research relatives on their war time records, please read this page by clicking on the link .. Relative Research Details ..... for all other inquiries please read the 30th November 2001 entry on the Burning Issues page.
Burning Issues Page
We have noticed some problems with the time the site is taking to download. We would be grateful if you would mail us if you are experiencing the same thing so we can pass this on to our server.
Over the years we have been running this site we have received many enquires about the Pension Fund and how to locate them. We have now added a link to their site, at their request, to our link page.
We have reproducted the booklet supplied to all prospective employees of British India, circa 1960s, from an original still help by Barrie Wilson. Our thanks to him for supplying the material.
We have completed Ben Line as far as our reference books will allow us to go, however if anyone can continue the story we would love to hear from them.
Additional information regarding tracing Merchant Navy Records. Click here for information concerning tracing former seagoing relatives. Further information available on the Noticeboard.
We would like to thank all the people who have sent in photographs and stories to us. Please continue to do so and anyone else who thinks they may have something of interest please contact us.
A number of photographs on this site were purchased from Iain Lovie who lives in New Zealand. A link to Iain's site can be found on our link page. There is also a link to John and Marion Clarkson from whom we have also purchased photographs.
On this site most photographs have not been issued to the Public Domain and are reproduced with the owners' consent, others are available from photographic sources already acknowledged, these also appear with the owners' consent. However I have put up some material where it's proved impossible to find alternatives to date but are necessary for the Company History, I will remove the said photographs on request. I would also like to acknowledge the P & O Collection, The World Ship Society and Laxon and Perry.
