Captain Edmond McCarthy would survive the loss of Abraham Sutton’s Harriett off the coast of North Carolina on 28 October 1867. Mate Patrick Collins, master of Cork ships in the 1850s, was a father to Captain Patrick Collins (b.1830, Clonakilty), who died at Milford Harbour in1861. He was also grandfather to Captain Jeremiah Collins (b.1854, Cork) who would be involved with the Upnor incident in 1922. He obtained his Master Certificate in 1861. Mate Timothy Bease and AB John Bease lived on Evergreen St., Cork in the 1850s and both would later obtain Master Certificates. Seaman John Bease would captain Sutton’s Perilla 1860 – 4, Harriett in 1865 and obtain his Master Certificate in 1865.
