Hi I'm new to this list - please excuse me if this is well covered ground. I am researching a family member who sailed on the St George from Bristol to Calcutta in 1838. I believe that he would have gone round the Cape of Good Hope, possibly calling in to St Helena on the way - in convoy with other sailing ships, for mutual protection. I don't know where they might have called after that, before reaching Calcutta. Was there an established 'normal' route? and if so does anyone know what the ports of call would have been? Ceri Harris
