In regards to Piers remarks about my ship captain: It is hard to figure out all that he did. I have looked at numerous ship ads, and since he is the only Captain Swain at that time, and they don't use the first name, I assume that these ads are for him. On the back of his photo/portrait, it says he sailed passenger ships between NYC and Liverpool, or someplace in England. But I have yet to find out about that. I also found one record on Google of a trip he made. He looked like and dressed like Robert Burns. But if he acted as ship master, what would he wear? Did he sail the ship? Did someone else do it? I am getting more and more curious about this entire subject. Sue
