19th Century Cork Sutton Mariners, Sailing Ships and Crews

records as 1845-46. Captain Edward Walsh was the second of the four master mariner sons of Captain Jeremiah Walsh (b.1815, Dungarvan) and a grandson of Captain Nathaniel Sutton (b.1794, Clonakilty). He commanded Ocean only briefly in 1865. Apprentice John Patterson, who served on many Cork ships, documented that his middle two years of apprenticeship were on Oceana , which I could not locate. I suspect the ship to have been Ocean especially since the first and fourth years of his apprenticeship were on other Sutton ships, the George Lawrence and Garland . #UK Nat Arch BT98; CLIP; MNL (1852); UK M&M; Sutton Family History; Anderson, Sailing Ships of Ireland.
