Regarding: “The White Swallow”
To whom it may Concern,
I am asking for help on this clipper. My Great Great GrandFather, Joseph Silva, came to Victoria on “The White Swallow” in 1855. Feb, I think.
I am told he was one of 11 men that jumped ship at Blairgowrie, or Sorrento, Victoria, Australia.
I have read bits and pieces but it is very hard to get the right story. To my knowledge, the clipper left Boston, loaded with human and animal needs, fully loaded. There were no passengers, only sea men. I also believe the Captain was “Captain Gore.”
I do understand that a bounty was put on each mans head. I am not sure if any men were caught, but I do know that my Great Great Grandfather, Joseph Silva, (born 1830) and his best Friend, Emanuel Jose, (born 1832), were both from The Azores.
We have just started the 9th Generation of our Silva’s.
Please let me know if you have any links, or history on “The White Swallow”
Hope I hear from you soon.
Thank you, Lyn Silva/Budden.
The clipper ship White Swallow sailed into San Francisco 140 days from Boston on October 24, 1853. There were purportedly 11 passengers, but thus far, I have not found names of those passengers, nor of the crew. Captain Lovett is reported as the captain on that sailing. Captain Gore is noted on a later sailing. Additional information: http://www.maritimeheritage.org/ships/clippers.html#White-Swallow
