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. It's  taken my family (mostly two of my younger brothers plus  kind cousins such  as Yvonne and Pam) over 30 years of hard graft to  get where we  are today.   :-) Regards Gordon From:  <Preulet@aol.com> To:  <eng-merseyside@rootsweb.com> Sent:  Sunday, January 16, 2011  10:05 PM Subject: Re: [ENG-MERSEYSIDE] HANCOCK,  Thomas's son of Jane  PARR >Hi Gordon, >What a very interesting  piece of  family history.  You are fortunate to  be >able to   collect these snippets to add to your family's history.  Is   the >Blythswood ship you mention - the one built 1875 Robert  Duncan  & Co Port >Glasgow, Yard No 90 owner C.E.
