Hello
Doing some family research, my father was a Master Mariner and looking to find some notes or anything about him and vessels he served on. I have some lists etc so will search around the forums, his name was James Cameron Quilter and he was in the service from around 1927-1970.

Re: Hello
Hello Jim
Thanks for joining and for your post.
I have done a quick initial search on the name but there does not seem to be any Record for him at the National Archive??
This is strange if he was a Master Mariner,and lesser before.
As his Service Years are within the search scope at the NA ,as said it is very strange!
Anyway i will keep looking,possibly he may have a CRS10 but that can only be verified by asking for a copy which is costly.
Cheers
PS Where was he originally from??
PS Just a pointer ,if he was stil in the Service after 1972 which is possible by your posting,then there will be no records kept ,as they ceased Record keeping after that for some time.

Re: Hello
Hi Jim.
If you have any names of the ships he was on post them on site, never know if someone here may have sailed with him.
