I hope all you mothers, and single dad’s out there had a great Mother’s Day. Mine was uneventful, but considering my life as of late, that is ok.
I found a book written in 1905 that listed a ton of captains, engineers, sailing vessels and Shiplines. I added that to the Marine and Shipping site.
You can find the captains and engineers by clicking on Captain Biographies. The vessels and shiplines by clicking on the ships.
I am working on the latest file sent in by Gary. These are covering July 16, 1888 thru Feb. 2, 1889.

R.H. Polzin Loses Life at Bathing Beach
R.H. Polzin, 52, owner of the Polzin Calendar & Novelty company of Milwaukee and a former resident of Nekoosa, lost his life while swimming in Lucas lake, near West Bend, Saturday afternoon. Death was at first attributed to drowning, but it was discovered upon examination of the body that there was no water in the lungs, Mr. Polzin’s false teeth having become lodged in his throat choking him to death.
Mr. Polzin dove into about seven feet of water from a spring board 20 feet from shore. He came up and sank. A woman called for help, and within five minutes his body was recovered by bathers. A West Bend rescue squad worked for 40 minutes in a futile effort to resuscitate him.
Funeral services will be held at 2 o’clock Tuesday afternoon at the Seerick funeral home in Milwaukee, with burial in a Milwaukee cemetery beside his wife, who preceded him in death 16 years ago.
Mr. Polzin, who was born February 16, 1882, in Winona, Minn., is survived by his father and stepmother, Mr. and Mrs. William Polzin of Nekoosa; two daughters, June and Fae of Milwaukee; seven brothers, William A. and Fred of Milwaukee, Leo of Moss Bank, Saskatchewan, Canada, Louis if Slinger, Ferdinand, Henry and Otto of Nekoosa, and three sisters, Mrs. Ida Kepstein, Newark, N.J., Mrs. Amanda Kasper and Mrs. Martin Fogel, both of Milwaukee.
Mr. Polzin resided with his parents in Nekoosa during his boyhood.

Milwaukee Authorities Seek Vandals who Removed Casket
Milwaukee Oct. 27 (AP) Vandals who stole a coffin containing the mummified body of an infant from a small blockstone mausoleum in an old buring ground on the edge of the city were sought by authorities here today.
Found on Street
The body, found on a street here early yesterday, is that of Carl Edward Kruse, who died and was buried in 1914 at the age of three onths. Identification was made at the county morgue last night by the father, Alfred F. Kruse, a druggist.
Entry into the crumbling mausoleum was gained by breaking the heavy crossbars of the door. The small casket had been carried about eight miles from its resting place. Five other caskets in the tomb were untouched.
Puzzled Officials
With only the inscription “Our Darling” on the nameplate as a guide, authorities were puzzling over the identity of the infant when Deputy Sheriff’s Eugene Netz and George Hanlon recalled they had investigated the desecration of a sepulcher in the town of Milwaukee cemetery about a year ago.
The deputies found the mausoleum had been entered again. From Harvey Grober, former sexton, they learned that Kruse had provided for reinterring the bodies on the occasion of the complaint ayear ago. Kruse was called by Undersheriff Joseph Klein and identified the casket.
