Hi List Here are some specific ships and captains who sailed to or from Newfoundland in 1809. The source is a bound volume of the surviving Lloyd's List newspapers from 1809-'10. The entries below are taken from various Lloyd's List newspapers dated January 1809; a few of the entries describe news from late 1808. Ship name/ capt. SURNAME/ voyage description Helena ADEY NF-Poole Rocket ANDREWS NF-Liverpool I.O.

These captains may not have anything to do with Newfoundland other than taking ships in and out; some of these captains may be Newfoundland residents, or their relatives. If anyone can add any details to these ships or people, let me know. Otherwise, this is just for anyone who may find it useful. (I find there is a decided lack of this type of information available to NF researchers). ---Michele PITTMAN-Wingerter win1@usol.com Researching the PITTMANs of Abbotsbury, Dorset and New Perlican, TB
