    Jim Lad got a reaction from popeye the sailor in Meteor 1851 by Jim Lad - Scale 1:96 - Immigrant Ship   
    Not sure if it's the same ship, Gary, but a search of the shipping section of the newspapers of the day would certainly give you a good clue as these usually listed the name of the ship's Master. As the 'Meteor' I'm building was a Hamburg ship, the Master should have a German name.

    You also still have the 'Trincomalee' in Hartlepool and the 'Unicorn' and 'Discovery' in Dundee - at least!

    Sounds like all your ships were down south, Pat.  Did you manage to get up north at all?
