I've been fortunate in the fact that my grandfather kept his sea captain grandfather's documents and passed them on to me. If you don't know where to begin then there is this - Merchant seamen crew lists: What are they, and where can you find them?

A question for all you experts in maritime history.

In the mid-19th century, were the rules that applied to boys entering the Royal Navy applicable to the Merchant Navy too?

For instance, by 1851 a 14-year-old needed to be 4ft 8in to gain a position in the navy.

My 2x great-grandfather (5th left-right bottom row) adult height was only 5ft 4in. He was 14 in 1851, so I imagine that he would have been under the expected height for the Royal Navy, but would he have been rejected for the merchant navy?

He did join the merchant navy, and by 1870 he had gained his Master's Certificate
