These are the people I contacted. They responded quickly via E-Mail. I telephoned them to initiate payment and received the ledger page the next morning. Stuart Ivinson is the Assistant Librarian and the fellow I spoke with. Good Luck with lettering your Boss!

Here is the S.S. Montnairn. It was scrapped shortly after my gun was delivered.

Simple. First you contact Boss. Then you pay a research fee. Then you know the story. Start here:

I have already tried that without luck. About a year ago. I tried sending another email today. They may not have any surviveing records. You would think that they would at least respond.

also- don't forget Boss has changed hands in 2000 and left the Robertson family which had held it since 1891.

they may not have gained possession of the historical records.
