Hello Royston
You should get Copies of your CRS10 there are no replacement Discharge Books issues unless you are gainfully Employed by a Shipping Company and at Sea. The CRS10 will have all you Records though and are now the only way of getting old memories back! The following is your Seamans Pouch which will only hold Basic info. I will look up the Link for your CRS10 and post same later
Cheers

Adding these hope it may help a wee bit, not much out there on the Crew, but again you can apply for Crew Lists from the Archival Records of the University of Canada, but costs of course. I got all my Crew lists from there.
