Seaman M S

[gagsy]

I've just found this photo in wiki. Not quite as grand as the painting. The text says it was taken in Bristol. Have you seen the other info about her coming to the rescue of an abandonned ship and the info about her losing her masts and a member of her crew in a water spout!

Hi Gagsy

Thank you very much its brilliant to see this. I have no info re. "Have you seen the other info about her coming to the rescue of an abandonned ship and the info about her losing her masts and a member of her crew in a water spout!" - I would love to know the details? Also do you know about what date the photo in Bristol was taken or who was the artist and date of the painting?

Most of the little info I have about the ship has come from help on this site - Charles ANDERSSON born 1876/1877 in Sweden serving as an Able bodied seaman on the Newport owned and registered vessel LILLIAN MORRIS official number 73131 between 8/Dec/1898 and 31/Aug/1899. We know he at least attained the rank of Bosun by 1908 but it may have been aboard a different ship...
She carried a crew of 20 at that time,  5 of whom came from Sweden - Charles Anderson was my Great Grandfather. Would your Great Great Grandather David Jones have been aboard / master at the same time?

Once again , thanks very much for the images..

Hi Turfy
Put 'Lillian Morris barque' in google and you will find the entries about the waterspout and the abandonned ship.

You could also search under Lilian Morris,

You could get a copy of the photo at:-

Hi Gagsy

Thanks again although nothing in google using those searches for me and I just get an error for the photo link - must be my ageing computer I think..

Best Regards

Perhaps I'm going to throw a spanner in the works here but the 1911 census index (using the advanced free search) shows Carl ANDERSEN (other person in the household Olive or Gladys ANDERSEN) in the Newport district as born Norway and slightly older.  I tried born Sweden and nothing came up so tried Norway and up he came

Of course you will need to pay to see the full details http://www.1911census.co.uk/

Hi Casalguidi

Thanks - Olive was my Grandmother and Gladys my Great Grandmother (Karl / Carl / Charles wife). We were unsure if he was born Sweden or Norway..
Cheers.
