Hello
John Hood of Selby, Mariner, sailed the
Industry 1781 to 1786, was put up for sale by John Dean's Son of Gainsborough. In the Hull Muster Rolls, John Hood went on to sail the
Leeds Packett and
Leeds Packet, Hood in the newspapers was sailed by DEAN after Hood.
According to the newspapers, they also say
Jane, Hood, so John Hood of Selby, Mariner, looks to be sailing the
Jane before he goes on to sail the larger
Centurion ship 1788 to 1790, where John Hood of Selby is sailing to Europe and Russia.
I've long suspected that the vessel
Jane sailing from Hull (1780s) was Staniland's of Thorne.

Anyway to cut a long story short according to a Notice dated
Thorne, April 8, 1789. Mes. Staniland, Wharfinger, Thorne Quay, (in conjunction with the River Dunn Company Warehouse), were trading as Partners:-
James Staniland
Thomas S.
SwannRobert Staniland
James Staniland, Jun.
James Staniland and Co.
Incidentally the
River Dunn Company had its own coinage / tokens ...

I have a second-hand 1829 Lease of William Staniland of Selby re property at Brayton and Staniland's Seal is identical to the lower half of George Hood's Seal (4 legged, thin legs, Trippant), so I can never rule out Staniland, who has several vessels including one called
Jane.
Vessel owners are known to name them after their family members.

Also, Richard Pearson Shipbuilders at Thorne, with a Collinson, partner.
Gilderdale, Pearson and Company, Ship Builders.
Collinson, Pearson and Company, Timber Merchants.
Can't quite join all the dots yet, but it may be, I'm barking up the wrong tree with Staniland. I await Dean's Will with interest.
