Had found entries for Yanariva on the Miramar site and Uboats.

She was named by "Mrs Charles Clapperton" For the record ... Her maiden voyage was to load in Cardiff (abt 29 Sept 1894) then on to New York (21 Oct 1894). Left New York for Chile and called at Talcahouna (24 Dec 1894) and Inquequi (Feb 18th 1895) returning via Monte Video (13 Mar 1895) and St Vincent to deliver in Dunkirk before returning to Barry (11 May 1895). Leaves 22 May 1895 for Nagaski with a load of Coal. Regards Robin

Robin, Just to amplify the info you already have from Ted. There is also an entry for the YANARIVA at: http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=4161 From the details you have she travelled light (empty - other than ballast) on her delivery voyage in September 1894 from the Clyde, upon completion by her builders, to Cardiff where she would load for her maiden voyage. A 1895 reprint register I have confirms her master was A.W. Weston. She was a steam ship. 2154 (2155 in register) was indeed her net tonnage.

Robin, If your man HIRD was still with the YANARIVA in 1897 (Capt. Weston was!) the following report of rescuing survivors from the VILLE DE ST. NAZAIRE may be of further interest. http://query.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=950DEED7153CE433A2575AC2A9659C94669ED7CF (click on link to view full report).

Our man left the ship at Barry on 11 May and went to Birkenhead to get married on the 18th. How on earth he met his bride I do not know as we have not found him on ships to Liverpool. Once married he went to work for Elder Dempster on the routes to West Africa. Promoted to Captain by January 24th 1901(Niger) he is last listed in the Captain's Register on the Onitsha on 15 June 1912. He travels as a passenger from Liverpool to Accra in January 1915 and dies "at Addah Gold Coast on 21st January 1916" according to a death notice in the newspaper back in Arbroath. We have no other evidence of his death. Regards Robin
