    3. Hi Claudine, I don't quite understand your question. He didn't arrive by ship, so you won't be able to find a name of a ship. He arrived with a Yankee clipper as you know. Why are you still looking for a name of a ship? http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Clipper_ship Linda

    3. Hi Linda He arrived by ship whether it was a whaler (as the place of his birth and the prevailing job availability there at the time suggests), clipper, war vessel or passenger vessel. All I am trying to do is trace when he could have arrived here if it is at all possible. Surely there are shipping logs kept of vessels docking in the Cape and Saldanha somewhere for that time period? I know it is highly unlikely that I will ever be able to trace a name of a possible vessel but am curious still. If I have the names of US vessels that docked, in theory I could go back to my US research and my contacts there to see if any of those vessels were ever in New York and from there trace if he ever worked on any of those. My research so far shows that he was present during the 1850 census in New York but not in the 1860 census which leads me to speculate that he left the US some time during that decade and arrived here before 1863. As it is, the information contained in the Lawrence Green book is inaccurate on one huge point – he is not associated at all with the Alabama. Lawrence Green interviewed existing family members but the story of how he arrived here became garbled up in village talk of him arriving on the Alabama. I hope that clarifies my question?

    3. Hi I have the information as well as everything else I have been able to find in the archives and on NAIRS. The information comes out of IN THE LAND OF THE AFTERNOON which is where I started my search back in 2010. I am however now trying to find out when and how he arrived here from the US. I have a couple of possibles in census forms in the US to pursue as well but that’s a long term thing. My request is for where to go to to find out which ship he would have arrived on. American ships called here all the time in the 1800s, but where would their arrival and passenger logs be or in the case of fishing or whaling vessels, who would have kept a log of arrivals for that time? My branch of Lloyds has no link as far as I know with any Lloyd that would have arrived here via the immigration from the UK. He was an independent that arrived from the US. Any information is appreciated.

In one paragraph mention is made the bread ration was stopped and replaced with 'klinkers'. I have not heard this term used as a food item. Would anyone know what it is as they write that the 'klinkers' were so hard that even if soaked for half a day, still could not be eaten. In another section mention is made of how the prisoners made pancakes from potatoes. Never heard that before. How does one go about this process.
