The table below lists all those master mariners whose place of birth is described as Whitby or Robin Hood's Bay in the 1869 Lloyd's Captains Register. There are many more masters whose place of birth is merely shown as Yorkshire and who, I suspect, were born in Whitby area, but it is impossible to confirm this without much more research.
Those who wish to obtain more information on the masters listed can contact me at 101704.3110@compuserve.com Alternatively the National Maritime Museum will, for a fee, provide information if they are given the name, year of birth and certificate number of the master concerned.
The following abbreviations are used in the table:-
C = Certificate of Competency
S = Certificate of Service
CHT = Home Trade Certificate only
Stm = Steam
