The Common Room / Merchant Navy - Vessel "Fortitude" 1861-1863
« on: Thursday 05 April 18 18:56 BST (UK) »
My ancestor Ambrose Honey, then age 17, joined the Merchant Navy on 30 Sep 1861. He was indentured for a term of 4 years on the vessel "Fortitude" in the port of Rochester. By December, 1863 he was in New Hampshire, United States where he joined the Union Army under a different name.
How can I get information on the travels of the Vessel Fortitude (ship number 2666) during this period? Where did the ship go between September 1861 and December 1963? I assume that is the ship that brought him to the United States and would like to know any U.S. or Canadian ports visited and dates. Would ship records show when and where he left the ship?
Any information will be greatly appreciated. Daryl
