| Personal Notes: |
| "Jane Howe, aged 14, married master mariner John Harrison aged 30. Harrison retired from the British Navy at the age of 20 to take command of a fleet of trading vessels owned by his father. With his father and aunt Capt. Harrison sailed from the U.K. in 1883 in a 40-ton ship. In the Bay of Biscay his aunt became so frightened that she made them turn back. "A fatal accident occurred before the completion of the voyage demonstrated that her fears were not without foundation. One night, during a violent storm, his father was washed overboard and, as it was pitch dark and the waves 'mountains high', it was impossible to rescue him, and he was lost". |
