Hi MargM Thanks for such a prompt reply. I have now found the "Hugh Walker" on in the Shipping Gazette 10 Oct 1853 it is under "Ships in Harbour. All it says is "Hugh Walker, ship 496 tons, Mackie, at Circular Wharf, Ilow & Walker and Co Agents" Can I assume (I hate doing that) that it would have been a Cargo ship and MACKIE was the Captain? This shipping business is all new to me.
