Additional information:
The Knights developed a reputable shipyard off the Lower Glanmire Road in the 1820s, which was taken over by Stephen Hickson in 1842 (see Barbadoes ). While Cork ships contributed to the Cork sailing ship fleets up until the 1860s, they failed to dominate (Appendix 6: Shipbuilding, Canadian Maritime Provinces).

Captain J Thompson may be the same Captain Thompson that Lloyd’s lists on the 382t Carroll barque Volunteer in 1832. Captain John Norton best fits the Captain J Norton in Lloyd’s. He would be Master of the Royal Adelaide of Cork (BT120) in 1836, trading between Cork and St Kitts. Captain John Croft documented coastal trade in the early 1830s. Captain J Malser
