I wouldn't swear to it, but on doing some research on my g grandfather who according to my gran was a steward on P & O liners, from 1885 - 1930ish, I found out some of the boats he was on were originally owned by a company known as the American Line, which either changed name or was taken over by P & O. |

Yes, I was going to suggest that - my OH'sGGF was crew on liner ships and he comes up on 36 crossings - mostly to New York on the immigration lists! |

Have you tried a search in the immigration section of Ancestry? Frank Cumberland comes up several times on New York Passenger Lists. I don't have worldwide membership so can't look at the images but have noticed in the past that crew are listed not just passengers. |

You might try the National Archives Kew for his seaman's records...he is just old enough to come into the online ones I think |

First why not write to P & O as they may well keep historic records. |

The Guildhall Library (Manuscript Section) in London has some Lloyds records of captains from 1851 onwards. |
