Hi have been told that the Colombo lost in the Cyclone at Calcutta was originally Bridget but can find no reference to either Bridget or Colombo. This is the reason for the question re: Ships number remaining the same when there is a change. Does anyone have references to the Bridget please. The information I was given was; Colombo, built 1863 by AJ Duberd at Point aux Trembles, near quebec as the BRIDGET. 934 grt., 863 net. Dim.: 170.0 x 35.2 x 21.0 ft. Registered at Liverpool (n. 520), on Dec. 24, 1863 as COLOMBO, for Wm Thompson Dixon & Edward Wm Wynne. Lost at Calcutta Oct. 5, 1864. I have been to Quebec to the port there in 1998 to see if they had a photof of another ship. I remember them having a thick book with photos of ships and information of other shiips without pictures so maybe they could even help. The chap who gave me the information cannot find his reference for it. He gave the number as 37096, signal letters SCNB we could really do with this ship seamans list. Does anyone else have this information and cantell me where this came from please aas we would like to quote a reference in our research as one does. Thanks Edie

Hello Edie,   The ship with O.N. 37096 is named on the CLIP website as BUDGET. http://www.crewlist.org.uk/data/vesselsnum.php   There is an 1863 crew agreement at Memorial University of Newfoundland for her. http://www.mun.ca/mha/holdings/viewcombinedcrews.php?Official_No=37096   Regards, Adi --- On Tue, 7/26/11, Edie McArthur <ediemc@bigpond.com> wrote: From: Edie McArthur <ediemc@bigpond.com> Subject: [MAR] Bridget/Colombo To: "Mariners Rootsweb" <mariners@rootsweb.com> Received: Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 7:57 AM Hi have been told that the Colombo lost in the Cyclone at Calcutta was originally Bridget but can find no reference to either Bridget or Colombo.  This is the reason for the question re: Ships number remaining the same when there is a change.  Does anyone have references to the Bridget please.

Hello again, Edie,   In that 1864 Mercantile Navy List that Peter gave you, call letters S.C.N.B. are assigned to BUDGET of Quebec, O.N. 37096, 933 tons (page 565, Google's pagination).   It is my understanding that very often North American built ships were very often sent to the UK with an initial cargo of timber to be then sold in the UK.   Merseyside Maritime Museum appears to have Transaction Books which record changes in ownership. http://www.liverpoolmuseums.org.uk/maritime/archive/displayGuide.aspx?sid=53&mode=html&sorStr=&serStr=&pgeInt=&catStr=   Regards, Adi --- On Tue, 7/26/11, Edie McArthur <ediemc@bigpond.com> wrote: From: Edie McArthur <ediemc@bigpond.com> Subject: [MAR] Bridget/Colombo To: "Mariners Rootsweb" <mariners@rootsweb.com> Received: Tuesday, July 26, 2011, 7:57 AM Hi have been told that the Colombo lost in the Cyclone at Calcutta was originally Bridget but can find no reference to either Bridget or Colombo.  This is the reason for the question re: Ships number remaining the same when there is a change.  Does anyone have references to the Bridget please.
