: : I was doing some geneology research on my family name. I discovered that a Capt J. Tripp
: : sailed this vessel on runs to Lake Superior. The footnote reads:
: : ...was built in Liverpool, England in 1864, for a blockade-runner sailing to Charleston S.C; purhcased in 1867 by Milloy & Co. of Toronto;taken to Quebec and cut in two pieces and passed through the St. Lawrence
: : Canals to Buffalo N.Y. Here she was rebuilt and put on the Collingwood line in 1869. Her engines are marine, oscilating of superior workmanship, affording great speed.
: : You may already know this info. My interest is that a J. Tripp sailed her.
: Hi again! I don't believe this is the Chicora which went missing on January 21, 1895 between Milwaukee, WI and St. Joseph, MI. My Chicora web page is at:
