Linda The NY Times of Dec 7, 1862 lists a steamer Monticello off Little Run, S.C. on Tuesday, Nov. 18. There is a long account of her destroying two schooners. On Dec 10, 1862 the Monticello is listed as a steam gunboat "waiting repairs" in the navy yard. On Jan 21, 1862 the NY Times reported on the vessels in the Mississippi area (Ship Island) and the Rachel Semmes/Seaman was one of them. On Nov 9, 1862 the Times reported "Operations In The Gulf. The Capture of Sabine Pass." and the Rachel Semmes was the flag-ship with Acting-Master Sloopper. This is a long account of the action. On March 22, 1863 there is an account of "The Blockade of Mobile. Affairs at Pensacola." the Rachel Semmes (spelled Seaman in this case) is still operating in the gulf. She is listed in Farraguts Fleet on Aug 12, 1863 with 2 guns 303 tons. On Nov 18, 1863 she was in the naval yards in NY being "fitted out". She was still around in 1864. Regards..

Hi Lister's, On 20, Sept,2008. I posted a tad about a ship having been partically uncovered by IKE, in Fort Morgan, ALA. Between Hurricanes Camille<1969>, and Ike<2008>, these storms uncovered a 1862 , 2 masted Civil War relic thought to be either the ship "MONTICELLO", or the "RACHEL". I would be interested to know the rest of the story if anyone has news....If anyone who lives close could check the story out, I'd love that.... ~Linda~ Garden of Weedin'...Free weeds, you pick!

Thanks to everyone for the many suggestions and photos regarding my request to find out more information regarding The Suevic and her 1913 trip to Australia Jenny in Oz

About 4-years ago, I stopped searching for a ship "Oxford" (in frustration) as very little information had been found for the era of 1852-1854. I now believe that at least three ships carried the "Oxford" name. One was built in 1836 and sailed, generally between Liverpool and New York, under the flag of the Black Ball Line, (until 1850) where all records stopped (see "Magellan", by Cimorelli). She was described as a packet-ship in the book, "Square Riggers on Schedule" (Albion), and in other references. A second "Oxford" sailed to Australia. A third "Oxford" was built at Freeport, Maine by Rufus Soule (about 1851); her ports-of-call are not known. There may be others with the same name. My primary interest is the period about 1853, and whether any ship named "Oxford" sailed, with passengers, between the UK and the USA. I am not sure if that ship's name is correct, as it was found only from the memories of one person. Specifically, I am looking for passenger lists for 1852-1854 that might show a family of two adults and four children, probably traveling from Liverpool to New York, including John O'Brien (father), Mary Bolger/Bulger O'Brien (mother) and Thomas, Anastasia, Patrick and Margaret (the latter born about 1850) as their children. All originated from Kilkenny, Ireland. I do have valid copies of the children's baptismal certificates, but very little about their parents. Family stories say the family left Ireland (about 1852/1853), lived at New York for a year (1853?), and then migrated to Iowa, traveling "up the Mississippi on a barge" (from New Orleans, St. Louis or wherever??). Iowa's census of 1856 shows that they had lived at Waukon for two-years. I have no idea as to how or when the traveled from Ireland to New York, and then on to Iowa. Please note that I have made previous inquiries, through the TSL, with no real success. This inquiry is being made to determine if any up-dated information might now be available. As stated in the many other requests for help from the TSL, any help would be appreciated. "Thanks" ... Pat

Good day, Looking for any info on the "Miracle". Her last voyage was from Liverpool bound for Quebec City. She went aground at East Point, Magdalen Islands 19 May 1847. The ships master was H.H. Elliot. Thank you.

Can any reader refer me to any information on the ship LOUISA ? There is a possibility that my Great Grandfather , from Denmark , reached Sydney , Australia , aboard this ship. Whether this ship sailed from European ports , bound for Australia , I have yet to discover... Incidentally , what would be the port of embarkation for a Danish emmigrant , I wonder ? The years of interest to me are between 1840 and 1866. My Great Grandfather was not a convict , but would a 'convict' ship also carry assisted immigrants ?

Would anyone have any idea of this ship, it sailed to Nova Scotia in 1817 and did so more than one time from Scotland, I woiuld appreciate anyone's help. Thank you Kim

I am fairly new on this list and have a general question.  If someone was traveling to America from Europe in 1906, and died at sea, where would the death cert be issued at and how would one obtain a copy of such? Thank you,   ~ Sandy/IL

As an aside, I searched the National Archives of Australia site. Often there is later immigration stuff there. Found this in a records search.

Hello Sue I have a GGGMother (Mary Ann Morter) who was with her family in the 1851 census (Norfolk) and had her children re-baptized, December 1851, in a small church in Ohio, USA. Rumor has it she came to Canada first and migrated south to the USA. I don't know what ship or date they left England, but would be very interested in what sailing arrangements you discover. Thank you Regards Jack Morter USA -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of [email protected] Sent: Friday, October 03, 2008 12:02 AM To: [email protected] Subject: THESHIPSLIST Digest, Vol 3, Issue 265 Today's Topics: 1.

These 103 persons were Army Pensioners and their families living at the Tilbury Fort in Essex on census night (March 30th) and the notation for them was :: Emigrants waiting for embarkation for Canada :: so at least we know where they were going. What makes this find particularly special is because it helps fill another gap in the pre-archiving of passenger lists to Canada (1865). Because they were living at Tilbury Fort, they most likely embarked at London, but I haven't been able to learn which vessel .. yet .. it might have even been a Navy Transport ship. When Marj returns from holiday, she may hopefully be able to find mention of their sailing in the London Times. I included an example of one of the children who I found as a 60 yr old living at Barrie, Simcoe North, Ontario. They look like a veritable United Nations, even within some of the families, with children born all over UK and Ireland as well as other parts of the world.
