In these lists Friends occurs with different masters. There was however more than one vessel named Friends working in these waters.

Some of these Vessels and Masters names are mentioned in Graham Farr's book The Somerset Harbours, [Christopher Johnson 1954]

More ships and masters from Pigots 1830

Since these coasters varied their routes any one of these masters could have a connection with the Welsh ports.

Extract from the book 'Somerset Harbours' by Graham Farr (1954);

."....arrivals in the Parrett in January 1851........There were no less than 54 craft; comprising 22 from Cardiff, 19 from Newport, 7 from Lydney and one from Swansea, doubtless all with coal or iron..........Four from Gloucester, probably with salt or flour; and one from Bristol with general cargo transhipped from ocean-going vessels. The ever popular names were there - Ann, Fame, Prudence, Unanimity, Friends, and the inevitable Caerleon from Newport. The Masters, too included names still found on Parrett-side --- Smart, Duddridge, Withycombe, Davidige, Hobbs, Herbert, Bryant, and there were the two Sharmans, William of the James and Sarah, and James of the William and Mary. The latter.....figured in the Moss Rose rescue of 1836, commemorated by the stone on Burnham promenade. There was a captain John Sharman in charge of the Nancy as early as 1788."

Cost of shipping coal from Swansea to Bridgwater 1776

Original document in Som. R.O. DD/DP7/9

This estimate gives wages and the taxes paid on Welsh coal, and the goods being shipped to Swansea showing active building taking place. Spelling is as per the original and is interpreted from the good captains handwriting to the best of my ability. It was not easy.

Captain Hawkins estimate of expenses attending a ship load of 25 Chaldrons off coal from Swansea to Bridgwater. April 17th 1776.

Expense of a ship load of coal Swansea to Bridgwater.

Sterning ye Defvce* (the Betsy of 40 Tons)
(ditto 26 Tons) 2 /6
Ale & Bread loading 8/ 6
Man to shift ye coal 1/ 6
Teams porting ye Defvce 2 /6
Logs & bondsman (10/6 Land Office 2/-) 12 /6
Harbour duty 1 /6
£5 ways of coals £10-0-0
Help out Swansea 8 /6
Help into Bridgwater 9 /0
Putting in ye Logs & Land Officer 10/ 6
Help and ales discharging (6-7days to be allowed) 18/ 0
Town dues 3 /6
Duty on 25 Chaldrons* of coals £6- 5- 0
Horse & ye informer to Monkton (to advise arrival) 3/ 6
Costing of 4 Men at 12 days £1-16- 0
Masters wages £1-15- 0
2 men @ £2 10 boy @ 15/- £3-5-0
Sum of ye Defvce £5-0-0
Total £32-2-0

*Defvce literally a contrivance but seems used to describe a vessel. 'Sterning ye Defvce' means Commissioning the vessel i.e. flying a stern flag to show where the vessel is registered.
*Chaldron a measure used in the shipping of coal and limestone in this case each Chaldren was 36 Bushels.

On the voyage out to Swansea it was proposed the ship carry Timber (Elm planks), bricks and cloth (Long ells, a white wool cloth manufactured mostly in the Wellington area)

This is for the estate of Monkton Somerset. Further expense would have to be incurred to transport the coal to the estate from Bridgwater. It shows then that the cost of coal in this region Somerset was reasonably high and provides one reason why the Cloth manufactures in these regions were reluctant to introduce steam power.

Capt Hawkins did not have a boy called Jim, nor a dog called Black Spot.

An example of not so cordial trade with the West Country.

From Early Chancery Proceedings - a Welshman makes a case for the return of goods.

PRO C1/15/223

Chancellor : The Archbishop of Canterbury

Date : 13 May 1443-31 January 1450

Petitioner : William Nerbere of St Athan in Glamorgan South Wales

Complaint : Thomas Gower, captain of Cherbourg and John Bere of Barnstaple in Devonshire were in possession and owners of a * balinger called the 'Mary'. Thomas Gower granted his part of the ship to the petitioner who had been peaceably in possession of it, by reason of the grant, in common with John Bere; until William Lethycote, also of Barnstaple, was allowed by John Bere to enter wrongfully onto the petitioner's part of the ship, and kept it wrongfully from him for more than six years, and was still doing so, to his great harm.

Request : That the chancellor would consider the foregoing and grant a writ of subpoena directed to William Lethycote, commanding him to appear on a given day before the king in chancery to answer the petitioner in the matter, so that the latter might recover his part of the ship and the damages he had sustained in accordance with the chancellor's wisdom, as good conscience and reason required, for the love of God.

*English sailing barge usually with from forty to fifty oars, shallow-draughted and clinker built.

Passengers on the Emigrant Ship "Guy Mannering"

Sailed from Liverpool on May 22nd 1849; arrived New York, June 28th. The Guy Mannering was launched in March 1849 at New York and this was her first east-west voyage. The captain was William Edwards.

The listing below is from NARA Film Number M237 80-828, National Archives, Washington DC. It has been rearranged in alphabetical order, but with family groupings retained.

ost of the passengers were Irish, but 58 (indicated by #) were lead miners and their families from the Allendale area of Northumberland, England, who had been been blacklisted following an industrial dispute. The intended destination of these lead- miners was the lead-mining areas of south-western Wisconsin and north-western Illinois. Samuel Vickers and family are known to have settled in New Diggings, Lafayette County, Wisconsin. George Philipson also settled briefly in the same town, but by early 1853 he was in California and by the end of the same year he had moved on to Victoria, Australia. Nothing is known of the other members of the party after their arrival in New York.
