Hi I seem to have deleted a few emails by mistake but do remember that one I read concerned a Cardiff pilot Lewis Jones of Cardiff and his cutter L.J.J. Can't remember who sent it but here is some info that you may or may not have. A while back I started to go through the crew lists that exist for Cardiff pilot cutters. I have one for L.J.J dated 1881 Jul to Dec. On board are LEWIS JONES Pilot born 1843 staes last boat as Lizzy. Also John JONES apprentice aged 27 indentures signed 15th March 1880 Also George William DAVIES apprentice aged 17 indentures signed 21st July 1881 There is a boat called L.J.J. in the shipping registers for Cardiff. It seems that this must be the second of that name as the register is for 1884 L.J.J. number 89186 built 1884 by DAVIES and PLAIN registered 1884 first owner LEWIS JONES. Sold to a Belgian citizen in 1919. Regards Phil T.C.M. Now off for a very long night shift sob sob.
