Seeking Copy of Britannic's Complete Logs

[taalvolcano1754]

Good day.

The title is as much as I request. I know that even a digital file will be very hefty, but I seek documents of this nature because I would love to see them digitized and easily accessible for the benefit of the community in general. I only ask for scans of the logbook covering the ship's entire career; it does not matter whether they have OCR or any such feature, they just need to be legible.

To whoever complies, my sincerest gratitude.

Are you sure they exist?

Are you sure they exist?

Quite sure. They are included in the file cataloged in the UK National Archives as BT 165/1569: Extracted Logs: Ship's Name Gambia River Official Number 137470 Dates of Voyages 14... | The National Archives

I just have the misfortune of being distant from the site of the National Archives and not having the financial means to carry out a scanning myself.

The National Archives has research assistants you can contact and hire to do research and scanning for you. I have done it before because I live in the U.S. It’s not cheap but research never is.

Don't know if this will help your search or not. But give it a look if you haven't already seen it.
