Footnotes

Painted to commemorate the entry into service of the new vessel, “Seabird” was a topsail schooner owned by Captain G.F. Renouf and built for him at St. Aubin, Jersey, in 1873. Registered at 79 tons gross (71 net), she measured 79 feet in length with a 19½ foot beam and was designed as a general trader to the French coast as well as within the Channel Islands. She replaced an earlier schooner of the same name dating from 1857, which had been skippered by Captain Renouf but owned by G. & F. de Sainte Croix of St. Helier. Clearly Renouf aspired to being master of his own ship and this dream became a reality in 1874, thereby occasioning this commission. By 1882, “Seabird” was owned by E. Oldridge, also of Jersey, but disappears from record that same year.
