Can someone please make out what this says.
Hello All,
Can anyone please tell me what this says? I am not very good at reading the writing on some of these documents. I am trying to identify the name of a previous ship that my great-grandfather worked on. To me, it looks like it says 'SAME' Please tell me if I am wrong.
Regards,
Josh

Hi Josh,
No you are not wrong - his previous voyage was on the same ship. If you want to find out what ship he had before that then you need to look further back (in time) at the Crew Agreement.

Hi Hugh,
Thanks for that. I have now looked and can see that his previous ship is listed but once again cant make out the first word. The second word looks like 'river' to me

It is MOUNTJOY official number 134670. Correct name is all one word, not two.
