Very sorry to have missed your response. There is a very simple reason why I am looking for these specific wrecks. My great, great grandfather Captain William Hall owned each of them at one time or another. I am researching him and his life in the early shipping business. I'm sure my interests do look scattered but that is the interest. HOWEVER in saying that my research has sparked a huge interest in all of the schooners of the mid to late 1800s and I find I am now collecting a variety of information on unrelated (to my research) ships. You have given me the first information specifically on the Helen Mar. Thank you very much for it.
