Hi Eleanor my understanding of this is that the New Constellation was built using a lot of the old Ship so hopefully will be a replica of it (Perhaps you can ask when you go and many thanks in antisipation ) Cheers George --- On Tue, 18/1/11, Preulet@aol.com <Preulet@aol.com> wrote: From: Preulet@aol.com <Preulet@aol.com> Subject: Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] HANCOCK, Thomas's son of Jane PARR To: eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com Date: Tuesday, 18 January, 2011, 17:11 Hi George, But you want photos of the galley & interior cabin for the  Constellation circa 1797  and NOT the 1854 Constellation replacement unless of course they reproduced it as  it was.  Am I clearly understanding your wishes?  I'll be happy to do that for you and will let you know when I travel there  for clarification of your wish list. Sorry my previous post got mishmoshed.  I haven't mastered an email  using url yet but I am trying. Even though I leave a blank line, the way I write it and the way it posts  through are different so the spacing isn't showing up. Enjoy your day and I'll get back to you on that.

It was  built at the same time and place the  original U.S. Frigate Constellation  (1797) was being dismantled - at  Norfolk Navy Yard in Virginia. Much of the  original ship was used in  the construction of the new ship. The Constellation I believe is now a  museum.  I hope to get to Inner  Harbor in the  spring/summer.  If you'd like I probably can pick up photos  for  you.  Below are 2 websites you may want to look at.  _http://www.hnsa.org/ships/constellation.htm_  (http://www.hnsa.org/ships/constellation.htm)   =  _http://tiny.cc/3r3vl_ (http://tiny.cc/3r3vl)  _http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/46/46020.htm_  (http://www.navsource.org/archives/09/46/46020.htm)  =    _http://tiny.cc/ydmtn_ (http://tiny.cc/ydmtn) Hope this  helps Best Wishes Eleanor In a message dated 1/18/2011  6:00:29 A.M.

I  regret not having  an interest when my grandmothers were alive, and  my  grandfathers I never met. Although I once asked my  paternal grandmother  about  why she came to the U.S. and I  asked her to tell me about my  grandfather and was  answered  that children should be seen and not  heard and to mind my own  business.  So every little thing I can  get  makes me feel  blessed.

Although I have no documentary  evidence whatsoever  to  prove it, my grandfather Edward Glenburn  EVANS is known to have  been born  on board this vessel in 1861,  somewhere between Cadiz  (Spain) and  Montevideo (Uruguay). I  had to purchase my pics of  the BLYTHSWOOD (at  not inconsiderable  expense) from the Maritime  Museum in London, but by a   stroke of luck was able to download a pic  of grandad's birthplace for  free  when a painting of the GLENBURN came  up for auction in the  USA some 11  years  ago   :- http://www.artnet.com/artist/558930/michele-renault.html My   collection  of 'snippets' isn't just down to good fortune, by the  way.
