Hi Lu,
Thanks for your input which has saved me some dollars.

I am planning to visit the Maritime Museum at the Auckland Waterfront later in the week; I am woefully ignorant of the documentation relating to Sea Captain's

Cheers

Fingers crossed for the 1902 mention.....but I wouldn't hold my breath :-)

Hi again...

A possible favourable wind for the 1902 Master John JOHNSON I mentioned in my earlier post.

The A to J's have an 1897 mention of a Certificate of Competency for a John JOHNSON, Mate (Home Trade). The certificate number is 5393.

The 1902 Certificate for John JOHNSON, Master (Home Trade) has the same number (5393) so it's the same man. He was a Mate in 1897 whereas the other John JOHNSON with certificate no.460 was already a Master in 1888. So fingers crossed that they're different men.

I'm guessing the 1897 Mate's certificate would be in one of the following volumes but I may be wrong....

Certificates of Competency - Mate - Home trade ship (R14557137) 1889 - 1897

Certificates of Competency - Mate - Home trade passenger ship (R14557138) 1897 - 1904
http://archway.archives.govt.nz/ViewFullItem.do?code=14557138

My only concern is the age in 1897 of your John JOHNSON b.1842. Possibly a bit too old to be a Mate.
-----

The A to J's name the captain of the Surat as Edmund Joseph JOHNSON

Sam, I am wanting to send you a Personal Message, but as I am a new member to this site I see I am unable to do so until I have made at least 3 postings. This is my second - third one to follow shortly.

Hi again SAM100. Do you have a link to the "magnificent photo" of John Johnson that you refer to in your first link? I came across a photo of him with an article in Papers Past but it was of very poor quality. If you have access online to a clearer photo I would love to see it.
Thanks Tracey

Hi Tracey
Welcome to Rootschat.
Unfortunately, the photo I have of John Johnson is the one you refer to, published in the Newspaper.
May I ask your relationship and interest in him and perhaps we could share information
