Additional information:
This ship traded with the West Indies.
Simeon Hardy, who died in 1834, was a Huguenot who set up a sugar importation business in Cork circa 1820 on his return from the West Indies. The Hardys were major shipowners in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries.
Captain John Henry Hall best fits Captain J Hall in Lloyd’s; his service record is missing in UK M&M.
Seaman (future Captain) Benjamin Matson was likely to have been a brother of a future Captain John Matson (b.1822, Cork) with whom he would serve in the 1840s. (see the Kingston ).
Mariners Barclay, Forsayeth, William M Reynolds and Barrett were also employed on other Hardy ships.
Simeon Hardy of Cork (Reg: 8380) operated out of Cork until 1865.
