These captains may not have anything to do with Newfoundland other than taking ships in and out; some of these captains may be Newfoundland residents, or their relatives.

If anyone can add any details to these ships or people, let me know. Otherwise, this is just for anyone who may find it useful. (I find there is a decided lack of this type of information available to NF researchers).
