Additional information:
This schooner (Reg: 21384), under Kinsale ownership, had a long career in coastal trade; largely between Kinsale and Wales. Captain John Coleman Senior died of natural causes 29 Sept 1870. Captain John Coleman Junior moved from Abraham Sutton’s ship Sarsfield to assume the captaincy of Bedouin for twenty years.
Mate James Coleman, like many other mariners, lacks a precise birth year in the records.
