'''Certificates of Competency and Service: Masters, Mates, and Engineers (BT 121–27, 139–42)'''. If a man wanted to become a master or mate, he had to take an examination. A certificate showing the name, the date and place of birth, and the date and place the certificate was issued was given to the man after the examination. Registers were kept of these certificates. They start in 1845, but few were kept until compulsory registration in 1850.
