Editing an existing seafarer’s record is managed via the same submission process. This version of the Registry does not prevent users from submitting a seafarer multiple times. Therefore, if you have additional information you would like to add, please start a new submission with the same core Seafarer details including his/her name. Once submitted, the Registry identifies matching seafarer records and allows the Moderator to merge two or more seafarer records.

Anyone. The Registry is crowdsourced, which means it obtains its information through a large number of persons via the internet. This is also why our triage and verification process is important to make sure that the content remains appropriate for all ages. We recognize that a lot of this invaluable information may not be so easily available now and going forward. Therefore, the Registry was designed and developed to document the history behind our seafaring men and women based on the facts still available as well as the memories and stories that have been shared with our seafarers’ friends and families.

Adding seafarers to the registry is designed to be quick and easy. The submission form is broken into easy steps, with only a few required fields. In the menu, click on the register icon and follow along.

In the search box, enter the seafarer’s name. You can enter the first, last, full or nickname, and click search. If there are multiple search results, you may use the page numbers/arrows at the top or bottom of the page to navigate. Click on the View button next to the record in order to see the details of that particular seafarer. If the view button is not yet clickable, this just means that our Registry Moderator is reviewing the information submitted on that seafarer to make sure it is appropriate content for viewing. Once you complete a seafarer submission, you’ll be given a unique submission number on screen. You’ll also receive a confirmation email to the email address you entered. Feel free to use this number to search for your seafarer submission on the registry.
