Hi Mick, Further to my last, written late at night, I can confirm that Lewis' Topographical Dictionary of Scotland of 1846 is the source for the statement that at Limekilns shipbuilding was "carried on to a moderate extent". Pigot's Directory of Scotland for 1837 notes two shipbuilders in the area - John Miller at Limekilns, and James Whyte at Charlestown. Miller was a certainly well established by 1828, and was a subscriber to Peter Hedderwick's Treatise on Marine Architecture in 1830; but in 1842 his property was seized under Scottish sequestration laws, presumably to settle his debts, and the shipbuilding industry at Limekilns may well have been in difficulties. Kind regards, PK ________________________________ From: Mick <mick@irishshipwrecks.com> To: Mariners <mariners@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, 11 June, 2011 22:52:36 Subject: [MAR] Lloyds Register Abbreviated Place Names Could SKS put a place name to this " LMKLN " Lloyds Register Abbreviation.
