Hello!
I'm new to this forum as I am researching my father's Merchant Navy career. I have all his old papers from 1941 to 1952 and hope to trace his voyages using them and the photos he took. Watch this space....

Re: Hello!
You can download the Movement Cards for each ship for his war service at the link given, if they have survived. Simply type in ships name at the link given and download for £3.50 each. They will give the ports and dates the ship visited between 1939-1945, then just cross reference with the dates you have for the dates he was on each ship.
