I'll let you know if I discover anything. > Would anyone know if records were kept (early 1800s) by SCT >and IRL concerning sailings between the two countries? (I can't really >tell from my maps just how long the journey would have been, nor >what types of vessels would have been required.) Any info appreciated! >Thanks, >Tracie Regards Lisa HLA@carebear.demon.co.uk http://www.carebear.demon.co.uk
