1) Capt Dixon was Master in April 1940, but the date he was relieved by Capt Holm is unknown as those logs are missing.
These names and dates were obtained from the actual and official USLHS and USCG records which are maintained at the National Archives, either the ships Deck Logs or ships Crew Lists.
The Not Determined Yet dates and years are because the Official records have not been located at the National Archives at this time. Research is continuing with the help of the National Archives maritime collection staff at the WASH DC location.
Abbreviations :
CBM = Chief Boatswain's Mate
