Thanks for the info. Unfortunately, by 1912 my grandfather had married (1907)and had about 4 children. I think that he was a Drill Instructor, by then.

The first place I might check as it's free is the Eliss Island database, there is a chance he went through at least once, it shows ships crew as well as passengers, and once you have a Ships Name you can work out which line he worked for.
Just wanted to add this for anyone who might find themselves searching for seaman as Bill has been doing.
The Ellis Island email newsletter has sent out a notice that they have added a search by ship name:
