The Bardowie (a Norwegian Merchant Ship) wrecked off the coast of Sweden in October of 1910. Is there any way to find a list of the crew at that time or at any time near to this? I know that my Grandfather was a sailor and he built a beautiful model of this ship in 1933 so I am sure he had some close connection to it.

Thanks. Larry

News reports indicated that 8 sailors drowned. Snippet view didn't show a list of names but such may have been in there. Try at www.genealogybank.com, search newspaper archives.
Good Luck
