Transcriber's Notes:
The original lister numbered the passengers.
A question mark (?) is used for letter/letters that cannot be read because of the
quality of the document. Where possible a suggestion is given in the Transcriber's
Notes of what this letter/letters may be.
An asterisk (*) is used to refer to an item in the transcriber's notes, which
further explains the entry.
A circumflex (^) is used to indicate missing letters in a name. The original lister
showed this by writing the final letter smaller and raising it above the line.
One passenger died on the voyage, 11-month old Kate Lowes, passenger 11.
15 This passenger's name is located at the crease of the document and is totally
obscured.
128 This name cannot be read because of the marks on the document. The name seems
rather long and may end in an "h". No occupation is recorded.
152-155 Surname: Covney, Corney.
The Dreadnought was a three-masted medium clipper ship built in 1853 in Newburyport,
Massachusetts with a very distinctive history. Between June 17 and July 2, 1859, it
left New York and arrived off Queenstown after 9 days and 17 hours. In February of
1862, it collided with and sank the ship John Evans, two days out from New York,
bound for Liverpool. On January 16, 1863, it sailed from Liverpool for New York.
Five days out she encountered a severe gale and lost a rudder. Capt. Samuels broke a
leg and was almost washed overboard. Having failed to rig a rudder, the ship was
sailed backwards towards Fayal. Continued to New York after 52 days of repairs. That
same year, the ship was partially dismasted and the rudder torn away. Capt. Lytle
received injuries from which he subsequently died. The Dreadnought made several trips
from New York to San Francisco and from Liverpool to San Francisco. On July 4, 1869,
she drifted ashore and was wrecked off Tierra del Fuego.
The Dreadnought made 31 round trip voyages between New York and Liverpool between
1853 and 1864.
