It looks as though it is downloadable to FindMyPast.  You should be able to set up a free account on that site and purchase what you want by micropayment

Thanks for your suggestion Rosie.
Tried FindMyPast without success.  Will try again
Found this information a few years ago.
Having trouble now trying to locate it once more.

BT 114 is the index to BT 113. You won't find any details in BT 114 beyond the ticket no. and place of birth, which you already have.

Instead, you may want to look (on FindMyPast) at BT 113/226, which is the ticket for John Campbell 451548.

Hi Bookbox,
Thanks for your interest.  Yesterday I visited FindMyPast again and found the entry you mention here.  John Campbell  No: 451548  (Page 232)..  Alas nothing more.   Had hoped finding ancestors Seamans Ticket number may have helped in my more than 20 year search for his death.  Thanks again to you and to Rosie99 for your help.

As I have already said, BT 114 is the index only. The Seaman's Ticket is in BT 113/226. The ticket can be seen on FindMyPast.

From the menu choose Search, then All Record Sets.
Choose the record set Britain,  Merchant Seamen 1835-1857.

In the First Name box, enter John.
In the Last Name box, enter Campbell.
In the Series box, enter Bt113 (no space, allow it to autofill).
In the Keyword box, enter Dundee.
Don't enter anything else.
Click Search.
There is only 1 result.

The above method should enable you to see the ticket for John Campbell No: 451548 in BT 113/226. It is on folio 194. It is image 390 of 516, in case that helps.

Whether this is your man is, of course, another question.
