they do charge though I,m afraid I tracked down some Merchant Navy records being held by them for my grandad from the early 1900,s and they wanted money upfront to search and it wasnt cheap . |

The E2 of the reference from the MHA at Newfoundland means that there is a ships log as well as a crew list. These were only kept when there was an event like a death on board, so it would be worth getting. They used to charge a minimum of 40 Canadian Dollars, but they are very helpful and efficient. |
