1. Re: [SW-L] 'Duke of Wellington' wrecked London 1845 [1]
Hello Listers, Chris Woods was asking for details of the schooner "Duke of Wellington" said to have been wrecked London in 1845. Richard and Bridget Larn in "Shipwreck Index of the British Isles" list a no. of vessels of this name wrecked on various parts of the British coast but none for the Thames estuary nor for this date. Though the Index is by far the best available it is by no means complete even for the 19th and 20th centuries. It also contains a good number of erroneous entries, A search through
2. Re: [SW-L] Brig "Heroine" [1]
Good morning John, I can tell you nothing about the loss of the 'Heroine' but by coincidence have just been given some copis of ship records from Norfolk which include a 'Heroine' of this name, official number 5105: registered Clay No2/1851 (28/2/1851) 55 tons 1 mast - 2 masts 21st July 1882 = sloop, altered to Ketch. At some unknown date her register was closed and she was logged for inland use only Doesn't sound like yours but if this is I can pass you a little more detail about her origins Chris
3. [SW-L] 1793 Philadelphia -> Batavia, East Indies [1]
Good Morning! I have a Stephen and Catharine Hicks CERONIO, who had been married a while -- long enough to have three children, anyway! He left Philadelphia for Batavia, East Indies in 1793. Now in 1794, Catharine *remarried* a Jacques SERVEL at the very same church, Gloria Dei in Philadelphia! Had they divorced? Possibly... Had his ship wrecked? I don't know. Do you know? Are you aware of any ship from Philadelphia to Batavia, East Indies that, somewhere between 1793 and 1794 was lost at sea? Tha

Hello List Obituary George Henry Vandegriff Accoding to the Daily Delta, 3/21/1851, page 2, c 5, he was the son of Dewitt Clinton and Margaret Vandegriff. But a few weeks have passed since we recall the deaths of 5 children of those bereaved parents caused by exposure and want of nourishment while on an uninhabited island in the West Indies, where they were landed from the Schooner Thorn. Thus have 6 children between 11 months and 11 years in the short space of three months been swept from their fo

Dear John, This is great, a fascinating insight into the very varied life of a south coast rail ferry. Thank you very much for your reply which will fit into the family tree very nicely. Hesitate to ask, but any suggestions where I might be able to download a photo of her? Thanks again from not so sunny Norfolk. One inch of snow and everyone here throws up their hands in dispair.
