Coastal steamers moving coal between Dundalk and Scotland, Wales & England
« on: Monday 22 August 22 20:43 BST (UK) »
Hello

I've found a lot of Irish crew lists and shipping agreements showing some of my ancestors working on these boats in the 1860s and 1870s. Does anyone know where I could find more information about them and what they'd actually look like?

I've put 'steamers' in the title but I'm not 100% sure if that's what they were.

Thanks

If you know the name of a particular ship, or its captain, it is often easy to track its movements through the shipping news in the papers.
