Re: Good news and bad news
I see that "Trade Winds" report that the V Group has brought out Bibby Shipping. Although V Ships do have a large presence in the U.K. they are not a U.K. company so that is another U.K. shipping group gone.

V Group have only acquired Bibby Ship Management, not Bibby Line which is still part of the Bibby Line Group with its head office still in Liverpool.

Re: Good news and bad news
John Harding from the Biibby Facebook group has managed to obtain almost all missing copies of the Gazette.
I have a lot of work to do to get them all onto the site as I am now working full time again and my eyes are not what they used to be.
It will be done however.

Thanks to John Harding, all missing Gazettes have been obtained, and so all the Bibby Gazettes (53 of them) are now on the website.

Re: Good news and bad news
Hi all,
Hope everyone is managing to stay safe and well in these trying times.
Just wanted to mention that there is now a link on the Gazette site Home marked Served With which will allow you to request a report from the database, that will show all the ships and shipmates you sailed with (but only as far as the Gazette can report).
I've had people say I missed a ship, but they were on that ship between Gazettes being issued. Remember it was just a snapshot at a certian date.
I actually run the report and email you the results.
