Hello Listers, If anyone should be interested, I now have my new webpage up and running on my website, giving the account of the last voyage and death at sea of Thomas Todd Smith in 1869/70. Much of the information on the page is copied from photocopies of the actual ship and crew account and log, as it was forwarded to me from the Maritime History Archive. Though Thomas was part of my particular family, what these men, five from Buteshire, endured would be a common lot, in similar circumstances, to anyone's ancestor who was a mariner. http://www.mccabeclan.mariners/htp Kind Regards to All, Pat
