Question

Answer 1

While the crew list for the Woodville is not available online, I can suggest you contact one of the following to see if they don't have a copy of the crew list to reference for you:

South Georgia Museum

Grytviken, South Georgia

(formerly known as the South Georgia Whaling Museum)

This is a quaint museum that has a small staff, so it should be easy to get someone to search for the list and answer you. They have the most comprehensive collection of information on the whaling in the South Pacific and Antarctica, so it would be my first choice on where to look.

National Maritime Museum

Greenwich, England
