Danish sea captains, mates and able seamen, 1707-1839

from my email:-
Eric Boysen has just put on his web site a database
of 13800 Danish sea captains, mates and able seamen who took the
navigation examination between 1707-1839 and made it searchable by name
and birthplace. Search results give name, birthplace, age, date of
examination, and sometimes other details. Patronymics that are used as
middle names are found in the surname (efternavn) field. There is also
a searchable database of ships for about the same time period, giving
the name, type and size, year and place build, notes and links to the
captains who sailed on them. Eric has done a lot of work, and I hope
people on this list find some useful data.
