Hello John,

The Henry Faret is not mentioned in the Merchant Navy OH, nor does it appear to have been sunk.

Best wishes

Have you tried LLoyd's List or LLoyd's Register?

Thanks for checking, much appreciated.

Per Ardua...I have checked Lloyd's Register, cant find her. Bit of a strange one this as I have a lad listed as serving onboard her as an Engineer on the 1918 absent voters list.

Thanks again

John.

The Mercantile Navy List has many ships in it that aren't on Lloyd's Register, but it's harder to find copies.

Here's the National Maritime Museum guide which includes researching engineers

Registers of Certificates of Competency: Engineers (1861-1921). These are held at The National Archives. Engineers: BT 139 , BT 140 and BT 142 Their research guide for officers:
