Apprentice: Fate of ship:

Ownership passed from Patrick Gorman of Youghal to John McCarthy of Ring, Clonakilty in 1883 and then on to Richard Blackmore of Appledore Devon after 1885 and a port move to Bideford (CLIP). Traded with ports on the Blackwater in 1879 and early 1880s. IMNCL reports export of oats and grain and import of coal (mainly from Bristol Channel ports). Captain Peter Farrell is Master on Lloyd’s until 1874; IMNCL reports document his captaincy only until 1869. Quite common to find Lloyd’s Register slow in documenting change of masters. He would subsequently captain the Farrell brig Althea . Captain Michael Harris Sheehan would also be captain
