James Stone, from Liverpool 1848 June Acadia ship, 'of Liverpool' 802 tons, Capt. Galilee, from Cork 1848 August Acadia steamer, 'of Glasgow' 612 tons, Capt. James Stone, from Liverpool 1848 September Acadia steamer, 'of Glasgow' 612 tons, Capt. James Stone, from Liverpool 1848 November Acadia schooner, 'of Nova Scotia' 59 tons, Capt. Amos Barnes, from Cumberland 1848 December Acadia brig, 'of Boston' 157 tons, Capt. Thomas H. Wood, from Halifax. . . . the answer was six times with 4 different vessels from four different ports. The June arrival is a sailing vessel, from Cork, Ireland. Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/
