Histories

H0103 Merchant Mariners
Old Occupations; an insight into ancestors who were Mariner's, Sailor's and Seaman.

Mariners would most likely have been a merchant seaman. A sailor would most probably have served in the Royal Navy; and a seaman would have served in the merchant navy. This distinction is by no means absolute; both the Royal Navy and the Merchant Navy use the terms ordinary seaman and able seaman to denote a seafarer's competence.
