• Notes

  In Shoreham Harbour, Brighton Canal Basin, in 1861 census as mate on the Three Brothers, a 31-ton 'Billy Boy' coaster from Goole. Waterways historian Steve Gardham of the Yorkshire Waterways Heritage Society writes on their website about Billy Boys, saying: 'A typical round voyage would have been to load coal for Plymouth, return with china clay to the Thames and then sail for the Humber with cement.'
