My great great great grandfather Oscar Smith, from Windsor Vermont, born in 1829, is mentioned as a whaler on the bark Globe, from New Bedford in 1850. Where can I get a copy of his Seaman's protection Certificate?

This is a list of New England Seamen's Protection Certificates or proofs of citizenship for seamen that are held by the National Archives.  Many of them are online, but there is no index.  United States, New England Seamen Records - Inventory • FamilySearch

Hi Susannah,

I cannot seem to locate the link you sent me, but I found something VERY interesting as I was going through the link! My 3rd great grandfather has his middle initial "C" mentioned in there. Wow! I have a copy of the photo shot.

There must be one more record somewhere. He WAS on the bark, Globe in 1850 and his name is Oscar Smith but the link you sent me has his name as Oscar "C" Smith. This could be the breakthrough of my research into finding him. Susannah, thank you.
