My most basic service relates to tracing the careers of mariners in British service. This covers the Royal Navy from c.1793 and its reserves as of their introductions to c.1918; the Merchant Service from c. 1835 to c.1972; and those involved in India, whether of the 'Honourable' East India Company, or the various naval local-defence forces, from the 18th century through to 1947. However, I relish more detailed research, into 'operational' matters: concentrating primarily on seamanship and associated subjects. This can cover anything from investigating coastal collisions of 19th century
