Crew lists and agreements were completed for every British vessel before each voyage. The lists
include crew names, ages, places of birth and various other details and are useful sources for
the history of seamen's careers. They are listed in this catalogue by the name of the ship.
A typical document contains this information and often more:
About the ship: Name, Official number, Port and date of registry, Owner's name and address, Master's name and address, Tonnage.
About each crew member: Full Name, Age or Date of Birth, Place of birth, Date of signing on and off, Capacity in which employed, Ship in which previously served.
About the voyage(s): List of voyages with dates and sometimes the ship's cargo.

University of Newfoundland, St John's, Newfoundland, Canada.
