Lee & Co. "Concerning the vessel itself, the bark Charlotte Harrison appears in Lloyd's Register for 1844-45 through 1874-75. She was built in Quebec in 1841, and measured 115 feet 3 inches in length, 29 feet 7 inches broad, and 19 feet 9 inches in depth. Her tonnage is given as 557 (1844), 557/578 (1845-1857), and 540 (1858 onwards). She belonged to the port of Greenock 1844-1856, and to the port of Cardiff from 1857. "Masters: 1844-1853 Archibald McIntyre, 1854-1855 Chalmers, 1856 A. Welsh, 1857-1860 Coward, 1861-1863 Griffiths, 1863-1864 J. Davies, 1864-1867 T. Morris, 1867-[1874] J. Jenkins. "Owners: 1844-1846 Turner & Co, 1847-1856 Johnston, 1857-1869 Plain & Co., 1870-[1874] Davies & Plain. "Intended Voyages: 1844 Liverpool-New Orleans, 1845-1846 Liverpool-St. Thomas, 1847 Clydeside-Demerara, 1848-1852 Clydeside-New York, 1853 Liverpool-[no destination given], 1854-1855 Clydeside-New Orleans, 1856 Clydeside-North America, 1857 Cardiff-Quebec, 1858 Newport-Quebec, 1859-1867 Cardiff-Quebec, 1867-1869 Cardiff-Cape Verde Islands, 1869-1873 Cardiff-Quebec. "The Charlotte Harrison does not appear in Lloyd's Register for 1875. She would have been 34 years old, the average life of a trans-Atlantic trader, and it is quite possible that she either sank or was dismantled. The institution most likely to have information on her ultimate fate and possibly even a picture of her (although I recommend that you not get your hopes up, as the "Charlotte Harrison" was not an important vessel) is the National Maritime Museum, Greenwich, London SE10 9NF, United Kingdom."
