I found the Surgeon's diary hidden in the back of a museum.
It was written by Doctor Knight in 1882 onboard the Ashmore so I know what happened every day, what the sailors were like, the storms they faced.
I also have the crew list.
I have years of research on the ship including photos and my book ASHMORE is due to be released in August this year (2018).
Can anyone help me find the ship plans so I know how the cabins are situated?
Or where I could find the Captain or First Mates log books?
Exciting to find other people interested in the same ship.
