Hi there,
Yesterday I was going through my great grandfather's books which he used for study during his days at sea. Interestingly enough I found something that made me very happy but quite baffled at the same time.
I found an inscription for the Second Officer's name, the name of the ship, and a date! You can see it attached below. Some years ago I tried to trace him backwards through crew lists and agreements but came to a stop since one ship of his was the American SS Kerlew and my great grandfather's name was not found onboard.
The ship's name I found on this book is SS Vigo. I think the date is 6/14/17. Please I would like to ask what ship is this 'Vigo' - I would be grateful for any info about this ship, so I that I can continue to search my great grandfather.
Thank you very much!!
Regards,
Kenneth
