Thanks for the info, I'll look into the info at the Sea the Ships site. My grandfather was a crew member. He was merchant marine in Germany during WW I and after he was on many ships as a crew member and I believe he may have jumped ship in the USA around 1923 and think it was from the Nile ship that he made his last voyage. It's been very hard to find out info on him. I appreciate any leads. Thanks again.
