I have just added the crew of the pilot boat Cygnet of Swansea ~ Neath
licence No.162 for Jul to Dec 1845 from
Crew lists at the National Archives BT 98/810 Port of Registry ~ Swansea
Ships Names ~ A - Q 1845
David Jenkins Master
John Barrett Mate Ticket No.305.539
Thomas Jones Pilot Ticket No.308.220
David Thomas Pilot Ticket No.308.207
William Daniel Pilot Ticket No.308.213
William Williams Pilot Ticket No.308.206
The reference to Ticket No.s on my website are Seamans Tickets No.s and NOT
Certificates of Competence.
Also completed A-C of 1845 and
Crew list from National Archives BT 98/507 Port of Registry ~ Swansea Ships
Names ~ A-G 1835-1844
Crew list from National Archives BT 98/508 Port of Registry ~ Swansea Ships
Names ~ H-Z 1835-1844
meantime indexing of 1883 for crew lists at West Glamorgan Archives
continues.
Note the 1835 to 1844 crew lists are filed under Port Rotation No's which
have been converted to the
Swansea Port No. in order to identify the correct ship, especially when
they are of the same name.
a table of conversion from Rotation to Port No. will shortly be added to my
wesbite.
Note many of these 1835 to 1844 crew lists are poorly recorded, with signing
on and off dates, ages, etc. missing and
many are damaged so only partial indexing could take place. The 1845 lists
are a little better. Every effort has been made to ensure
accuracy.
