Thank you again David As I prefer a primary source for my information this is the confirmation I needed. While other websites and some books mention she was seen off Ballycotton around this time no one has given a reliable source for the information. I have been busy for a few weeks, so March 1867 is still not finished, I have uploaded details of 20 vessels for this month with about 6 more to go. www.irishshipwrecks.com These two may interest those with an interest in the Clyde. http://www.irishshipwrecks.com/shipwrecks.php?wreck_ref=492 http://www.irishshipwrecks.com/shipwrecks.php?wreck_ref=490 This was a difficult month to research and I would like to acknowledge all the help and material I have been given by Mariners List Members.
