Research Service

We can provide reports on Merchant Seafarers based upon surviving records. Records before 1918 were mostly destroyed in the late 1960s except for the records of Ship’s Masters. It may be possible to trace Merchant Seafarers between 1914/18 by their medal cards. Ship voyages and service medal entitlements can be investigated.

The standard fee is £50.00 (£55.00 Overseas enquiry) per research for a private enquiry. The fee includes a reasonable amount of report photocopying and a short report.
A MNA member is eligible for a £25.00 -50% discount - (£30 Overseas) fee for a simple request and a reasonable amount of report photocopying. Extra charges will be made for more complicated research and/or excessive photocopying.

Commercial enquiries - a quotation will be given, dependent on the requirements.
