Jersey vessels 1786-87

Jersey vessels
1786-1787

This list of vessels owned in Jersey is taken from newspapers which commenced publication in 1786. No official record of ships exists until 1803, with the Register of Shipping, Vol 2. Vol 1 has been lost for many years

The type of vessel was often loosely described, and this column should not necessarily be taken as accurate. There is also some doubt about a handful of owners and masters.

Where the area of operation is shown as Canada, this may have included Newfoundland, Nova Scotia and/or Gaspè.
