Additional information:
Sackville was a shipbuilding town in New Brunswick on the Bay of Fundy.
Captain John Leonard initially claimed captaincy only from 1844 –5 when he moved to Dawson’s Alarm . However, on renewal of his certificate in 1853 he gave his dates on Sackville as 1842 – 4. He would subsequently become Master of the Leonard barque Atlantic in 1847 (which he may also have owned).
Sackville disappeared from Lloyd’s in 1845.

Apprentice: Fate of ship:
This St John vessel had been wrecked in the storm of February 1874 and offered for sale as seen at anchor at the coastguard station at Crookhaven on 3 Mar 1874. In addition, two thousand Havana sugar boxes were for sale (presumably onboard). The partners who salvaged this ship and extended her life, sailing out of the Port of Cork, included Henry Brown of Marmullane Villa and William Brown of Passage West. This ship traded from Cork to the Dominion of Canada. Tynemouth is east of St John NB in the Bay of Fundy.
