Pat: You are correct as follows: DAVID CROCKETT: Clipper ship; 1,679 tons; 215.10x40.6x27. Launched in Oct. 1853 by George Greenman & Co. Built at a cost of $94,800 she was the largest vessel built on the Mystic River to that time. She is considered to have been one of the most successful ships launched from an American shipyard. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ SILAS GREENMAN: Ship: 733 tons; 146.10x33.3x26. Built in 1848 by George Greenman & Co. for Everett & Brown of New York. She was named after the recently deceased father of the Greenman brothers. She ran primarily in the Liverpool trade. In 1857 she was owned by William T. Frost of New York, & was operating between New Orleans & New York. She was condemned at San Francisco in 1866 after arriving in distress while on a voyage from Puget Sound to Hong Kong. She was sold for $5,500 & purchased & rebuilt for Siamese owners. In 1868 she was reported as "leaky' at Callao. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Hope you find this as interesting as I did. BILL xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Hi Bill I am a descendant of the "Greenman" Family of Mystic (and formerly of RI). I am interested in who built the Ship called "The David Crockett" and who built the Ship called "Silas Greenman". I was under the impression that they were built by Greenman Bros.. Any information contained in the book regarding them would be appreciated.
