Charles Francis Corrigan was born 26 Nov 1905 in San Francisco, CA. To Joseph Corrigan (1873-1934) & Iva Alice Stevens (1872-1941).
The second crime mentioned was Vio Sec 476 was writing of bad check.
He was 2nd Mate aboard this ship at 39 years old.
Charles died 22 Nov 1983 in Fresno, CA. I believe he was reformed, although I do not know what truly happened with the assault, the do not give the details in the newspaper clippings, reviewing the trial records would help. If he had continued to get into trouble he would of lost his Seaman Papers and would not of been allowed to sail. The way he kept advancing on the ships he was on tells me he was disciplined. I added everything to the tree I made him him on Ancestry for his descendents. I would not be ashamed of anything any of my ancestors did, as I wasn't there and it does not have anything to do with me and my character.
