Amelia bell 1871

John Strong

Birth Name Strong, John
Gramps ID I1273
Gender male

Narrative

John Strong presumably intended his share of Strong, Reid and Page to go to his son, but his son predeceased him and so his nephew Alexander Reid benefitted.

Narrative

Ships acquired by Strong, Reid and Page. I guess the names reflect their involvement in the Spanish coastal trade - perhaps transporting Spanish iron ore to Glasgow and British manufactured goods on the return:
1870: Winsloe, Leeming (built by Bowdler Chaffer, Seacombe)
1871: Amelia, Tinto (Bowdler Chaffer)
1872: Juan Cunningham, Mino (Bowdler Chaffer)
1874: Prado (Bowdler Chaffer)
1876: Corso (Bowdler Chaffer)

1880: Volo (R. Duncan, Port Glasgow)
1882: Neto (Dobie, Glasgow)
