When try to access the database it says the record is not available. Familysearch has a detailed page on how to access it in the link provided above. Is this temporarily down or is this a longer term?


Thanks

    The Wiki page you linked says

    "This article describes a collection of records scheduled to become available at FamilySearch.org".

    (my emphasis)

    The Wiki page was last edited on 9 August 2021, but was set up 2 August 2018.

    The collection seems as though it hasn't been released yet, and given nothing has happened for over three years, it seems as if there could be an indefinite delay.

    Thanks, I really didn't see it, even after reading the page twice.

    @TGLA123 Not seeing a collection by that title in the Record Collections, but you might want to wander over to the Explore Historical Images section to see what you can find. Newer stuff appears there first. Here are steps:

    1. Sign in to FamilySearch.
    2. Click Search and then Images.
    3. In the Place box, enter "Massachusetts" and click Massachusetts, United States.
    4. Just below that box, click Show More Search Options.
    5. Under the Life Event box, click Show Advanced Search.
    6. Find the Keyword search box, and enter "Seamen". Then click Search Image Groups.

    Lots of results to explore. Maybe some of them will have the info you are interested in.
