Hi Pat I don't have the 1995 IPA Journal to check the article you mention, however I do have a relative that travelled aboard the Jane Black. Jane MILLER (nee PIPER) and her family travelled on the ship from Ireland to Canada in the autumn of 1842. This would appear to the voyage after the Jane Black was shipwrecked on 10 May 1842 after a heavy squall combined with a snow storm, about 250 miles from Quebec. All 417 passengers were landed safely (not so their provisions or possessions) on a desolate coast. Tents were erected from the sails of the ship, assisted by some local Indians they were fortunate enough to encounter. The captain was taken to the oppostie shore by the Indians and he trekked to Quebec to request urgent assistance. A steamer was sent immediately for their rescue. Initially the ship was thought to be a total wreck, however in July the captain returned to the ship with carpenters, etc to endeavour to raise the ship. He was successful as it arrived in Quebec in early August and was being rebuit being cleared by late September. I would suggest you look at the website "The Ships List" for more information on this incident at http://www.theshipslist.com/ Cheers Annette Piper Australia ----- Original Message ----- From: "Pat Seger" <seger001@gold.tc.umn.edu> To: <IRL-PALATINE-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Tuesday, December 30, 2003 9:03 AM Subject: [IP] information on ship "JANE BLACK" / 1995 IPA journal > would anyone have information on the ship "Jane Black" before 1847 ? - > > I saw a listing that 1995 (no. 6) of the Irish Palatine Association Journal > had an article on her maiden voyage. > > many thanks in advance > > Pat Seger > > ---- > Pat Seger > seger001@gold.tc.umn.edu > > > > ==== IRL-PALATINE Mailing List ==== > To subscribe or unsubscribe from this list use the following: > IRL-PALATINE-l-request@rootsweb.com > Put either the word, subscribe, or unsubscribe in the subject line and body of the message. > >

Goodday all I checked the ships list & from what I could find there wasn't a passender list for the Jane blck until 1845--is there a list of passengers for 1842 up to 1845? ? ? ? There is a good chance my Sherwood & Steep families were on them as they left Limerick in that time period. ANY help is appreciated. Larry Healey Campbellford,Ont.
