The Accrington
There is a picture of her here http://www.yesteryears.co.nz/shipping/pictures/accrington.html But from these stories, not a ship you would want to sail on :lol: http://www.old-merseytimes.co.uk/infantmortality.html http://www.old-merseytimes.co.uk/ACCRINGTON.html Things got better under the new captain :) http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ourstuff/Accrington.htm http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~ourstuff/ArrivalAccrington.htm

She was broken up at Sölvesborg, Sweden http://freepages.family.rootsweb.com/~treevecwll/milletts2.htm

Oh my! Sounds like a "death" ship. :shock: If only those passengers had known the luxury cruising we know today. :(

Wonderful stuff, Stephen :!: :!: :!: :lol: :lol: :lol: Interesting that the steward was exonerated!!! Guess, even in those days, that kind of behavior by a Captain was not tolerated.....especially towards the passengers :shock: :shock: Wonder why a ship headed for India would have called in at Pernambuco (Brazil) :?: :?: There is a WONDERFUL chorus number called Pernambuco in the musical "Where's Charley" :D http://www.nodanw.com/shows_w/wheres_charley.htm
