Family History Beginners Board / Re: Ship named LILLIES

Thanks David,
Have you been in contact with The New Brunswick Museum?  Do you think they would have logbooks from that first crossing?  I'd love to find out more about the trip.
The back of the poem has some signatures on it.  Unfortunately they are in pencil and are very hard to see.  I don't know if they are passengers or crew or both.  I have looked over them very carefully but can't find the Thomas Brown.
I've posted the signatures if you want to take a look at them.

Hi seaweed and DavidArtShed,
My interest in the Lillies is because my 3rd great grandmother was on the maiden voyage in 1855 from St. Johns, New Brunswick to Liverpool, England.  It was a particularly rough trip so my ancestor wrote a poem about the trip.  You can see the poem here:

The ship was badly damaged and one of the crew was washed overboard.

seaweed,
Would you have any record of this trip?

DavidArtShed,
was your ancestor on the crew for this trip?
