I have found that the Barque Felicitas ON 69631was built by Baldwin, Peter apparently in Quebec (but may have been in Kingston Ontario ..where I cleaned bilges on a ship repair in 1957!) and was sold to ?? in Liverpool UK in 1874 Our man was on her from June 1886 to June 1888 Can anyone help find this ship in that period?
