Fate of ship:
Emigrant ship in 1847 (Appendix: Famine and emigration) Captain William Stewart was almost certainly the W Stewart in Lloyd’s . He moved to the Mary Russell in 1826 and was responsible for multiple murders on that vessel in 1827 ( Mary Russell, this Catalogue 4; Appendix 6: ‘Murders at sea’. Captains John Mills and Abel Isaac indicated this ship to have been in American trade. Cork to Quebec trade would have been likely to have included timber importation. Captain John Mills commenced his apprenticeship prior to his eleventh birthday and is confirmed by UK M&M as the Captain J Mills in Lloyd’s. Captain Abel Isaac also commenced his apprenticeship prior to his eleventh birthday.
