Hi Was on deck 1969 to 74 looking for logs for the ships I was on to support a book I'm trying to write m.v.Trebartha 1970 ,for example. Also anybody heard of a story of a mv that was reported missing on a trip from oz to Cape town. It turned up some months later using her canvas hatch covers (tarps), as sails!. Engine broke down and could not repair. Presume 1900 to 1970, and possibly a FEDERAL, or N.Z.S.C. boat .If you can help please.
All the best.Graham

I have obtained a few Logs with my Crew Lits from Canada,which may help you ,but i cant be 100% sure that you will get what you want from there!
You could i suppose email them and ask if they have Logs for the Ships you want!
Worth a try but normally its just Crew Lits with Logs attached to them!
Cheers
