Crew Lists
The Names included on Ships Crew Lists held at Lancashire Archives
​

In 2017-18 members of LFHHS worked with Lancashire Archives, Friends of Lancashire Archives and other volunteers to transcribe and index all the names and some other details of the seamen listed on Crew Lists for ships registered at the ports of Fleetwood, Lancaster and Preston between the years of 1863 and 1913 and for fishing vessels registered at Fleetwood from 1884 to 1914.
The records include details of the ships (registered port number, name and owner), crew roles, name, surname, age or date of birth, place of birth, year of the crew list they appeared on and some miscellaneous information.
