Fate of ship:
Lost voyaging from Newport to Cork with coal in late February 1868. The crew were saved (IMNCL). Another report specifies that on 21 February 1868 she was driven ashore and wrecked at Breaksea Point, Glamorgan (List of Shipwrecks - Wiki). Another ship from Prince Edward Island owned by Captain Abraham Sutton (b.1813, Ring, Clonakilty), who retired from the sea in July 1846 to run the family business. While he established his office at 1 South Mall, his primary coal yard was on Lapps Quay by the Custom House. One of the ships in the above photo may have belonged to his company. Captain Daniel Flaven has a UK M&M record that may require his Certificate Number: 51.700, for retrieval. Captain George Nathaniel Sutton was the third master mariner son of Captain Nathaniel Sutton (b.1794, Clonakilty). Captain Denis Driscol (b.1824, Cork) was most probably Denis Driscoll (b.1822, Kinsale), who previously apprenticed under Abraham Sutton (b.1813, Clonakilty) and Nathaniel Sutton (b.1794, Clonakilty), when they were the Captains of Robert Lawe and subsequently with Abraham and Nathaniel’s brothers, Captains Thomas (b.1797/98) and William (b.1814), on Herbert and Mary . Captain John Twohig was documented as the prior Captain of Elisha Thayer , which IMNCL also identified as his prior ship. Seaman Timothy Cummins served previously on Henry Paterson and would later captain Alexandria Victoria and Old Head . Seaman David Cowhig also served previously on Henry Paterson .
