Hi everyone, My ggggrandfather, Isaac Dove, b. 1793 Sunderland, was listed in a book " Aged Seaman (or Mariner) Home. That on August 6, 1844, he was "seized and paralized" and set off at Plymouth. He was on the "Prince Albert," from Sunderland to ???? can't read that one word! He was 51 at the time. Is there a way to find out about the "Prince Albert"? Other places he was listed as a Master Mariner, but don't know if he ever captained a ship. Believe his father, Isaac Dove, b. 1765 captained the "Williams Adventure" in 1794, the Endeavor" in 1794, the "Mary & Ann" in 1790, "The William" in 1799 and the "Vintage" in 1801. Is there a way to find out anything about where these ships went? Thanks, Mary Kitzerow marimac@molalla.net www.marymckenziekitzerow.com

The paddle steamer Price Albert [155ft x 19.5ft] was built by John Henry Sangster Coutts in his Low Walker yard on the Tyne, it was launched 24th September 1842.

Hello Mary,   I see two Sunderland deaths in the newspapers which may be yours:   21 Sept. 1839, Jane Dove, 44, wife of Isaac Dove, master mariner and 20 Feb. 1846, Sarah Dove, 73, relict of Isaac Dove, mariner   But I didn't see where PRINCE ALBERT was headed in August 1844.   There are 15 vessels named PRINCE ALBERT in 1844 edition of Lloyd's Register of Shipping, so she may not be the steamer that Stan has mentioned.   A great many volumes of Lloyd's are searchable online and you can find links to them here: http://www.maritimearchives.co.uk/lloyds-register.html   You can search through an indexed database of extracts from Lloyd's List (twice weekly merchant shipping newspaper) 1740-1837 here: http://www.cityoflondon.gov.uk/lloydslist/   Even better, that newspaper is digitized and searchable up to 1826. The 1969 reprint by Kress Publishing of Lloyd's List for the late 18th and early 19th century has been digitized and made available for free at http://catalog.hathitrust.org/Record/000549597 Lloyd's list is an invaluable aid, particularly when you are trying to locate particular details on a ship's voyage or captains career. It was published twice weekly, and was the authoritative source on all matters of shipping movements and intelligence.
