Thank you for the reply. He was a free passenger, he went on to be part owner of a gold mine and did fairly well for himself. I have copies of some letters sent home to family at the time.

Thanks for sharing this. I've discovered several mariners during my family history research. I'm from a family known in the village I grew up in as "the captains" because of a great great grandfather who was a sea captain in the mid 1800's

Thank you

Thank you 😊
