Thanks for the advice, Im in Queens today stange enough looking at the
Parliamentary papers. The local Papers seems to show nothing (more searching)
and I hope to gather weather reports for the time.
The loyds list gives me more and I have now found all the past captains, so
Im hoping to find a list for the crew as well as the graves for those who died.
It just struck me that there may be records of sale of slaves from these ships,
in Jamaica and Havana?
The story of locals building them selves a diving bell out of wood and concrete
in 1833 to get at the silver is a story in its self.
