We are excited to announce that we have added crew lists to the database: American Offshore Whaling Crew and Voyage Lists, 1799-1927. This update makes this database a part of 10 Million Names and adds 186,873 records and names to this database. The volumes are now organized by “Crew Lists” and “Voyages,” and then within those categories they are in alphabetical order by surnames.
These crew lists were recorded at the customs houses in New Bedford, Fall River, and Salem, Massachusetts, and in New London, Connecticut, and have been compiled as part of various projects and from various sources over the years by a partnership between the New Bedford Whaling Museum, Mystic Seaport Museum, and the Nantucket Historical Association. We thank them for sharing their work to create this database. Their joint work on whaling history can be found here and more information about the crew lists can be found here.
This database is available to all American Ancestors members, including Guest members, at no cost. Consider membership.
