Hello Heather
Thanks for the information
I will get back to you if I find anything (I have seen the 1881 census
entry for Levi and his wife Elizabeth on board the Britannia in
Falmouth)
Just for starters have you had a chance to look at the following book?
I don't have it - but it could be interesting.
Devon. Appledore. Ships. Illustrations. 1845-1917
Greenhill, Basil. A quayside camera 1845-1917. - Newton Abbot : David &
Charles , 1975. - 112p : ill ; 24cm. - ISBN: 0715368850
Bye for now
Pat
