1835
note:
Majestic
An entry in Crowther's _History of Lythe_ mentions the
sailing from Whitby in 1831 of an emigrant ship called the Majestic which carried a number of people from Lythe. Among them were Thos.
Ward, W. Terry, John Ingledew, Thos. Coverdale, William Harrison, John
Baily, Robert English, Lennard Watson, John Read and Thomas Taylor.
We have no record of an emigrant ship of that name.
It is thought it might be the King William,
Capt. Carr. She sailed, as stated above, in 1831, with upwards of 300
emigrants "chiefly from the neighbourhood."
We should be glad to have
confirmation or correction of the above statement if any be found
in Canada. We have had three Whitby-built "Magestics." The
first was burned in 1808. Another was bought by the Government in 1810,
and
the ship mentioned above built in 1835.
Whitby Emigrant
Ships (supplement)
Supplementary List of the emigrant ships sailing from
Whitby. Taken from Dr. English's "Whity Prints." Diary of Events.
| 1831 |
The brig ADDISON, ships GUINARE and KING WILLIAM
sailed from Whitby with emigrants for Quebec. |
It will be seen from the principal list, that the Addison and Guinare sailed
for Quebec in 1830. It may be a second voyage, or a mistake in the
year, as the record in the Whitby Repository would certainly be correct.
| 1832 |
The COLUMBUS sailed from Whiby for Quebec, with 245
emigrants |
Further particulars are given in the principal list.
| 1834 |
May 8th. The ship HINDOO sailed from Whitby with
106 emigrants. On May 9th the barque CAPT. ROSS with 28, and on
May 10th the barque ARUNDEL with 173, all for Quebec. (Marmaduke
Jame's Diary) |
The Hindoo is mentioned in the principal list with
trifling differences. The Capt. Ross and Arundel are
not mentioned. Weatherill's particulars, p.157: Capt.
Ross, barque
310 tons, built in 1834 by R.& N. Campion, Whitby. I cannot find any
particulars of the Arundel.
| 1836 |
May 13th. The ship MEDUSA sailed from Whitby for
Quebec, with 70 emigrants. |
Probably the Medusa, ship 453 tons, built by H. Barrick in 1836
| 1837 |
The RUSHLANDS sailed from Whitby for Quebec, with
emigrants. |
H. Barrick built a Rutland, ship 376 tons, in 1829 for J.H. Coulson,
Scarborough, but the names do not agree.
| 1849 |
The NEPTUNE sailed from Whitby to Quebec, with emigrants. |
| 1850 |
The NEPTUNE, ALPHA, SCORNER and Mr. Usherwood's WILLIAM, sailed
for Quebec with emigrants from Whitby. |
Probably the Neptune second voyage. I have several possible emigrant
ships named Neptune. The Scorner is unknown, and is an unusual name.
Weatherill's particulars, p.74: William, ship 264 tons,
built by T. Fishburn in 1793, owner Wm. Usherwood. Lost in the Baltic
Sea, October 28th 1852.
