Hello,
I am searching for any merchant marine information that might pertain to my paternal grandfather....Halfton August Halvorsen who born and lived in Bergen Norway

I have been told he became a merchant marine once he left Norway, when he was 16 years old (that would of been around the year of 1905 to approximately 1914.)

I was told he came to America aboard a ship that docked in New Orleans....He married my grandmother approximately 1913..That is as much as I know....

Does anyone have any information that would help me find additional information on my maternal grandfathers family....
