Additional information:

Captain Patrick Murphy was the Captain P Murphy in Lloyd’s, which incorrectly documented a prolonged captaincy here, since IMNCL reports document him as master on multiple Sutton vessels during that period, before purchasing Petrel from Abraham Sutton in 1878 and continuing to captain that vessel until 1891. Captain Gerald L Walsh was identified as captain in IMNCL reports, 1878 – 80 and was recorded by the 1881 England Census on the ship Eagle lying in Sutton Harbour, Plymouth. Sutton Harbour, formerly known as Sutton Pool, is the original port for the City of Plymouth In Devon, England, probably going back to Anglo-Saxon times so therefore not connected to the Suttons of this research. Sutton means ‘south farm’ in
