Some beginners questions. I am tracing the maiden voyage of the Yanariva ( launched in Glasgow on Thursday 16 August 1894) According to the report in the Western Mail of Tuesday 2nd October 1894 "Cardiff Arrivals Roath Dock Sept. 29 - Yanariva, s, 2154, Greenock, light." .. What is the meaning of the 's' which appears here and after many (but not all) ship's names in Shipping intelligence reports in 1890's UK Newspapers. On Launch she is rated at 'about 3400' tons ... Is the above entry showing the load capacity? Other ships in this particular entry have numbers ranging from "10" to " 1392" And what does "light" mean? Several other ships have same entry while some are load specific eg Timber and deals, iron ore, burnt ore and lime etc Her next port is New York where the entry in the Glasgow Herald of Tuesday October 23 1894 states "Yanariva (s), Weston, from Cardiff at New York Oct. 21" Final Q was Weston the Captain? Our man Findlay Fraser HIRD was Mate on this voyage as recorded in his entry in Lloyds Captains Register. TIA Regards Robin Have detail dates for the voyage to Iquique and back to Dunkirk if anyone is interested. -- Robin and Margaret McEwen-King Lanark Scotland
