Merchant Marine records?

Question:

Merchant Marine records?

I am looking for old Merchant Marine records. Can anyone tell me where to look? I am looking for my great-grandfather's MM records if they are available. He passed in 1917 at the ripe old age of 31. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks a million!
