Hannah Cunliffe - Historical Researcher & Maritime Consultant

In most research projects there are some dead ends, some questions that are never answered.  This can be extremely frustrating for both researcher and client as it may seem there is no way forward.  Yet it does not mean that these blank walls are the end.  All that is needed is a little bit of luck...

The following are some of the unsolved leads from current projects.  Can YOU shed any light on them?

William Stoba - designer of pilot cutter, Kindly Light

Voluta - yawl, built 1900

Maybird - gaff ketch, built 1937

Where is Fred Shepherd's diary?

If you have any information to offer on these people or vessels, please contact me.
