Additional information:
Engaged in Quebec trade in early 1840s. Cork-Mediterranean trade in late 1850s (O’Brien) .
Captain Errington indicated this ship to have been in the timber trade in the early 1840s. Captain Charles Daly stated she was in North American trade in the late 1840s. Probably the importation of timber for Cork and the exportation of emigrants. In 1854 Captain Charles Daly renewed his Master Certificate, which was mislaid while he was removing his effects after the sale of the ship. His service dates on the Albion were derived from his UK M&M records. Captain S Hanlon’s name and dates were only provided by Niall O’Brien. However, UK Nat Archives BT 112 does document a Stephen Hanlon (b.1811, Youghal) as a seaman on Betsy of Cork in 1837 - rather speculative! Mate James Hanlon (b.1833, Youghal) was boatswain in 1854 and his name suggests he was related to Captain S Hanlon.
