Hi David, I am very interested the entry for TYne built ships. It contains an entry for a ship called the Syren but in 1801 by Francis Hurry. I am wondering if this is the same ship as the M.S. Syren owned by C & S Enderby of London. It was This ship was engaged in whaling in 1816. Do you have any more information which would prove these ships are the same ship or prove they are different ships? (I am interested because my 3 times great granfather was drowned on the M.S. Syren in 1816) Kind Regards Peter Phillips Melbourne, Australia On 9/07/2015 9:36 AM, David Asprey via wrote: > On the assumption that he was a British seaman, it looks like these: > > NAIRNSHIRE > see http://www.clydeships.co.uk/view.php?ref=4496&vessel=NAIRNSHIRE > > POTOMAC > see http://www.tynebuiltships.co.uk/P-Ships/potomac1902.html > > > David > > On Wed, Jul 8, 2015 at 5:10 PM, elizgh via <mariners@rootsweb.com> wrote: > >> Hi , wonder if anyone can find me details of >> the Potomac and the Nairnshire .

Hello Peter, Erm ... no, I don't think they are the same SYREN. I will send you another email off-list with two attachments (The Mariners List does not allow attachments in messages) showing her entry in Richard Keys' "Dictionary of Tyne Sailing Ships". Your SYREN was wrecked near Hartlepool on 30 September 1849.
