Hi big g If it helps there is a seaman's record (CR10) on FMP with the following - Karl Anderson dob 27/04/1878 Gothenberg Sweden Dis A No 556716. There is also a photograph of him.
There is also a death recorded on "Deaths at Sea" - Ship Bellas 138081 - 14/12/1915 English Channel
Karl Anderson real name Karl Burgeson age 30 seaman Gothenberg Sweden - last abode Scandinavian Sailors Home London - lost overboard in gale. Hope this is what you are looking for. yappie

Morning yappie,
Interesting; think I found he was born "Goteberg" - could this be the same as "Gothenberg" I wonder?
He really is a mystery.
I am researching this chappie for a friend. 1911 census for his wife, states her to be a widow. Maybe he had just left her.
Your find is something for me to work on.

Many thanks.
G.

Good find Yappie, yes it is spelled Gotenborg on the image.
