Archives IdentifierAF020Date RangeCirca 1895-1973DescriptionThese volumes record information about pursers and assistant pursers for the years 1883 to 1973. They take over the function of the first register (AF019:1:1) after 1894. Each volume begins with registration pages listing all pursers for the relevant years, and records date and place of birth, joining date, appointment dates and positions (Assistant Purser, Purser), prior service, and brief notes about appointments, resignation, death, etc. The subsequent entries are by year, giving only name and apppointments and transfers - names of ships and dates. From 1913 onwards there are two sequences in the annual listings - by person name and by ship name.Quantity (Linear Metres)2.25MediumBound VolumeSystem of ArrangementRegistration pages; then annual listsCollection TypeWellington Museums Trust
