Clan Line Staff
A re-organisation of Crew Lists Many additional crew lists from 1913 - 1915 from the companies of that time: Union-Castle, Clan Line, Houston Line, King Line, Scottish Shire Line and Bullard King.
All of these crew lists had to be deciphered from hand written ship’s articles. I am sure that there are a great many spelling mistakes as many names had to be on a “best guess” basis. Any corrections welcome.
In 1894 Clan acquired the Persian Gulf Steamship Company and its vessels.
One of them was Tigris and although I have not located a photograph I have found some descriptive press releases of her launch in 1890.
