Union Steam Ship Personal files of sea-going staff (2nd series)

Descriptive Data

Archives IdentifierAF038Date RangeCirca 1957-1999DescriptionThis series contain personal files of sea-going staff who were born 1930-1939 and up to 1959 and who retired between 1990 to 1999; many files relate to engineers and electricians, but there are also some for masters, senior officers and occasionally chief stewards. Many later retirements are redundancies due to the sale of ships and the new company, Union Shipping Group. The series includes a mix of files created in manila folders as in earlier series (AF005, 008, etc.) and new-style colour coded files. The files contain application forms, some with curriculum vitae and copies of educational certificates, agreements, medical test forms, employment and leave cards, reports on conduct and abillities, correspondence, death, retirement and redundancy information. Some, mainly relating to captains, have photographs inside the back cover.Quantity (Linear Metres)4.5MediumFileSystem of ArrangementBy decade of birth, 1930-1959; within decade alphabeticallyCollection TypeWellington Museums Trust
