Additional information:
Foreign trade recorded by Seaman/future Captain John Mahony. Captain Henry Hobbs specified trade with Barbadoes. Captain Robert Stavely was previously documented as a Mate on Simeon Hardy (BT112) while Lloyd’s documented a Captain R Stavely here on Zephyr . Both were Hardy ships and the two Stavelys are surely the same person. Captain George Havelock documented West Indies trade; the Hardys traded extensively with the West Indies (Anderson). Captain Paul apprenticed on another Hardy vessel, Xarifa , and obtained his Master Certificate in 1851 at Cork. Mariners who served on two or more Hardy ships included Robert Stavely, George Havelock, Nicholas Reynolds, George Clarke, Joseph Barrett, George Barclay, John Forsayeth, Isiah J Hall, William M Reynolds and William L Tooker. #UK Nat Arch BT112; Lloyd’s; UK M&M; Anderson, Sailing Ships of Ireland.
