LANCASHIRE  WITCH

SHAW SAVILLE & CO IN 1863 CHARTERED A VESSEL CALLED 'LANCASHIRE WITCH', WHICH WAS A VESSEL OF 1574 TONS AND REPORTED AS BEING OWNED BY FIRNIE & CO OF LIVERPOOL. SHE DID ONE VOYAGE IN 1863 DOWN TO LYTTLETON AND IN 1867 ALSO DID A TRIP DOWN TO LYTLLETON FOR SHAW SAVILL & CO.

HOWEVER THERE WAS ANOTHER VESSEL AROUND AT THIS APPROXIMATE TIME ALSO CALLED 'LANCASHIRE WITCH', WHICH HAD BEEN BUILT IN QUEBEC IN 1855 AND REGISTERED IN LONDON AND WAS A VESSEL OF 1386 TONS, AND WAS OWNED BY D DUNBAR. WHETHER SHE HAD BEEN CHARTERED BY SHAW SAVILL & CO ALSO,I AM UN-CERTAIN OF AT THIS MOMENT.
