Except Piers has added to the confusion from his information, he says: From: "Piers Smith-Cresswell" <piers@ps-c.demon.co.uk> To: "'Mariners List'" <mariners@rootsweb.com> Subject: Re: [MAR] Bridget/Colombo Date: Wednesday, 27 July 2011 7:04 AM Looks like she was BUDGET: the 1862 American Lloyds Register of American and Foreign Shipping has a 933 ton Quebec ship of that name in 1862 edition, other details tally: http://tinyurl.com/3z4p63a . If there was a transcription error then it evidently made it onto that as well. BUDGET continues to appear in editions up to 1869, but it should be noted that in 1869 she was recorded as last "seen" in NY in 1863, so it goes to show that such things aren't necessarily all that accurate and shouldn't be absolutely relied upon! So if she was being recorded still in 1869 not our Colombo.
