Charles Frederick Barker, Jr.

Charles was an apprentice seaman, on his first voyage, on the Ranee in 1853 on the England-India route; his father was the Master but died at sea on that same voyage. He was a Master himself by 1868, of the Scotia on the US trade route, and then the Australasian (US again). He was examined in London for his Masters Certificate of Competency in 1867, but by 1871 he is no longer listed in Lloyds Captains Registers so probably had left the sea by then.
