Almost certainly from the Brown Yard, which would have been the dominant yard for sailing ship construction in Passage West at this time. The Browns built many schooners in the 1830s. The Joseph R Pim , the Browns’ eighteen th schooner, was launched on 2 July 1836 and by September a further three were under construction with the yard’s nineteenth being launched on 13 September (O’Mahony). Captain William Sutton was the youngest of five Clonakilty master mariner brothers. He commenced his apprenticeship in 1820 under Captain Thomas Sutton (b.1897/98, Clonakilty). This was the second vessel that he commanded. Captain Patrick Collins who married Sarah Sutton 28 May 1825 in Clonakilty, has his teenage apprentice son and future mariner captain, Patrick (b.1830, Clonakilty), documented here on board the Anne as an apprentice (a common practice). Young Patrick Collins would, in 1850, captain the Sutton ship Herbert , which previously had been captained by Thomas Sutton (b.1797/98, Clonakilty).
