Adi, Was the William & Mary registered on the Tyne ? A Book by Richard Keyes, " Dictionary of Tyne Sailing Ships" lists over 5000 ships together with dimensions, cv, ownerships , captains and some snippets on voyagers and crew members. Book available, at least, in Tyne & Wear Archives and Newcastle City Library. The Times ( of London) carried the news reported in the Moniteur... but edtion ( no. 7037) was of the 4th May 1807. Lots of newspapers in the era repoting shipping incidents, but custom seemed to have been quote names of officers but just number the men ( Even the "War Diaries" of WW1 of specific Battalions of Northumberland Fusiliers mention officer casualities by name, but other ranks not named) Michael Dixon Newcastle
