Great news - at last the nut has been cracked.
Yes, as can be seen from the crew list he held a Master Steam Ship Certificate - it was quite normal for the Ch. Officer to hold a certificate above his rank. I held a Master Foreign Going Certificate and sailed only as a Chief Officer, and never reached the dizzy heights of Master
Many thanks for that Geoff, maybe I can sleep tonight.
Jool - those certificates were probably his 2nd Mates, then Mates and finally his Masters., The time gap between the dates is about right. May I ask where your certificate info. came from.
