Re: Ship Trace,
Just a suggestion Jim
Would it not be better for you if you could take a day trip to London to visit the NA at Kew,this way you could get all the info you need there!
Possibly make it a 2 day trip even better!
As said just a suggestion!
Cheers

Movement cards can be downloaded for £3.36 each but crew agreements are not obtainable online - you have to go throught the Kew research service (expensive) or hire your own. Vernon has suggested the best option which is to actually visit and get all you need in one visit. Any other option will be second best.

Re: Ship Trace,
Hugh when you said it was expensive I think the word extortionate would be more apt.I sent an e.mail giving the ship details and asking the charge, this is their reply.
The cost for searching within this record for the crew list for the vessel specified and providing copies is £60.00
For anybody wanting to do this imagine the cost plus the movement cards,looking for details of 6 ships would cost nearly £400. Far cheaper to book into a hotel down there and do the searching yourself.
