maritime inquiry records
thelebrityI am looking for the records of the maritime inquiry held in Glasgow, Scotland on march 4. 1903 after the danish passenger ship "Oscar II", which had to seek harbour in the Azores after almost sinking in the Atlantic on it's way from Copenhagen to New York. The inquiry was held in Glasgow because the ship originally was built there, and was repaired there after the accident. In what court would the inquiry have been held, and where would the records from the inquiry be kept today?
