Apprentice:
1862 Denis Donovan b.1846 (Kinsale) 1872 Philip Gough b.1857 (Cork)
Fate of ship:
Wrecked while moored in the River Lee and possibly re- floated. George Sutton Jr (b.1836) and Andrew Donovan (b.1834) were brothers-in-law and business partners as sailmakers and shipowners, while Nathaniel G Sutton (Montpellier Terrace) became the ship’s final owner 1890 -91. He was George Sutton Jr’s son. Captain Timothy Donovan came from Black Diamond to serve as master of Grand Master 1866 – 7 only to have Captain Timothy Donovan Sr (b.1805) take over that role in 1868. No further records have been found of Captain Timothy Donovan (Jr). Captains Timothy Donovan and William Dempsey were related and sailed for years together on this ship in their mature years (see Acadia for further family information). Apprentice Denis Donovan was another son of Captain Timothy Donovan and was documented here in 1863 on his first (and perhaps only) ship. Denis was baptized in Kinsale 14 Feb 1846 and later, like his younger brother Justin Foley Donovan b.1848, would become a doctor. *IMNCL; CLIP; Lloyd’s ; UK M&M; Sutton and Donovan Family Records; www.irishwrecksonline.net
