Hi Carolyn, Thank you for posting this URL . I just checked for the year, 1887, for both N.B. and ME, and found some interesting information. For the Maine men "lost at sea" (out of Gloucester), I found several references to the year, 1887. And, at least 2 of the men were on the ship, Jamestown. I just did a Google search for the ship, Jamestown, and found this web page - which describes the ship running aground off the coast of Iceland: http://www.leoemm.com/jamestown_english.htm And, this page describes the history of the ship, Jamestown: It had quite a history ! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USS_Jamestown_(1844) If you do a Google search for "ship Jamestown," you will find more sites mentioning it ! Betty (near Lowell, MA, USA) P.S. I continue to look for information on the "death at sea" of John KIDDER in 1887. And, on one of the sites mentioned above, I noticed that one of the captains of the ship, Jamestown, was registered in Richmond, ME, as having the captain, C. H. KIDDER. (I will try to find out who this C.H. KIDDER was.) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Carolyn" <cosawler@bwr.eastlink.ca> To: <lunen-links@rootsweb.com>; <NOVA-SCOTIA-L@rootsweb.com>; <nfld-roots@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, April 18, 2007 11:21 PM Subject: [NS-L] Lost at Sea Site > Hi Liz > Here is the Lost at Sea site .
