Additional information:
The provenance is not certain here: could be blending two ships called Kitty : a sloop built in Ireland in 1800 and a schooner built in Dungarvan in 1801 owned by Gymlett of Youghal.
Captain Charles Fortune was previously Mate on Kate Kearney .
Mate John Flynn and Seaman John Flynn: these two, from geographically close locales, are possibly the same man recorded in different sources. The Dungarvan Flynns would almost certainly be related, since their mariner list numbers are consecutive. The proximate Certificate (3003) number of John Flynn from Ballinacurra suggests a family link to the Dungarvan mariners.

Mate John Foley previously sailed in 1869 as Mate on the Walsh schooner Eliza under Captain Gerald Walsh (b.1844, Cork), the son of Captain Jeremiah Walsh (b.1815, Dungarvan). John Foley was also Master on Unity of Cork owned by Captain Denis Whelan (b.1820, Dungarvan) in 1874. Jeremiah Walsh and Denis Whelan were married to Catherine and Margaret Sutton, daughters of Captain Nathaniel Sutton (b.1794, Clonakilty).
