UK, Apprentices Indentured in Merchant Navy, 1824-1910
Had a search and found the record of my g/g/grandfather, age 16, apprenticed to Hugh Barkly for 4years 11/2/1828.
In 1834 he was a Captain and I have a record taken from one of his diaries. In 1845/46 he was Captain of an opium clipper Water Witch on the run between India and China.
I have been searching for a number of years to find out about his sea career gaining snippets along the way. Now I have a place to start the search is on again. A quick search on Google for Hugh Barkly possibly connects him to the West Indies trade.
If anyone can help it would be most appreciated. I do have his family history it is only his sea career I am trying to find out about.
