The British bark LISBON, George Fisher, master, arrived at New York on 10 September 1848, 50 days from Glasgow, with 3 passengers in the cabin and 89 in steerage. You will find a microfilm copy of the passenger manifest for this voyage in National Archives Microfilm Publication M237, roll 75, list #1035 for 1848. You can borrow a copy of this microfilm through AGLL, any LDS (Mormon) Family History Center (Family History Library microfilm #0175426), or Interlibrary Loan. The bark LISBON, 443/471 tons (old/new measurement), was built in Wilmot, Nova Scotia [Ship Information Database, http://susan.chin.gc.ca:8013/basisdbdocs/title1e.html], in 1846, and was until approximately 1856 registered at St. John, New Brunswick. The following information is taken from the annual volumes of _Lloyd's Register of Shipping_ for 1848/49-1859/60: Master: 1848-1849 - Fisher 1850-1853 - J. Brinton 1854-1855 - not given 1856 - W. Smith 1857-1859 - J. Gray Owner: 1848-1855 - "Eaton & C" 1856-1859 - Turnbull Port of Registry: 1848-1852 - St. John, NB 1853 - not given 1854 - St. John, NB 1855 - not given 1856-1858 - Shield[s] 1859 - not given Port of Survey: 1848-1852 - Liverpool 1853 - not given 1854 - London 1855 - not given 1856 - Shields 1857-1858 - Newcastle Destined Voyage: 1848-1852 - St. John, NB 1853 - not given 1854 - St. John, NB 1855 - not given 1856 - Mediterranean 1857-1858 - Spain 1859 - not given Rating: 1848-1852 - A1 1853 - not given (expired) 1854 - AE1 1855 - not given (expired) 1856-1858 - AE1 1859 - not given (expired) The entries in the _Register_ for 1853/54, 1855/56, and 1859/60 give only the name of the master and the name of the owner, and indicate that at the time of going to press the vessel had not appeared for a scheduled survey, and her rating had therefore expired. The last reference to the LISBON appears in the _Register_ for 1859/60. I do not know her subsequent history or ultimate fate. However, if she was lost in British waters there should be a reference to the fact in the published Board of Trade casualty returns, which I shall check in the next few days.
