Series. Crew Lists, 1866 - 1913
295 itemsThe following index identifies the crew lists as filmed by year and in numerical order by registration number.
In some cases there has been a comprehensive log book instead of, or in addition to, a crew list. In a very few cases there has only been a brief crew release form for a ship. Some ships made several voyages in a year and have more than one crew list and on a few voyages, two-piece lists were needed to log all the seamen.
Ortona: 4 voyages; front pages only, 1908 (File 110613)
Archival History
Although listed, this material was not filmed completely by the AJCP. The 1908-1909 crew lists for the Ortona are of considerable length and therefore only the front page of each list has been filmed.
