So your request is related specifically to his professional activity, correct?

Not sure if this is any help but the 1901 census records him as a Mate ("only Mate certificate") on board the Dunmail. 

The Dunmail is described as a steam boat belonging to the port of Newcastle, tonnage 607, employed for Coasting, name of master E.F. Hammond. 15 crew on board on census night.

Try the National Maritime Museum? (at Greenwich).

last week's WDYTYA produced a Master's certificate...
