Members of the Society for the Registry of Shipping

The society maintained a Registry Office at which alterations and additions were notified, and members delivering their registers when called for had them updated and returned on the following or the ensuing day. The sample scan is from the main list. This is the index to the list of members of the society.LINGING. Cost: £6.00.  | Sample scan, click to enlarge
