As
far as I can ascertain, this company was in existence in the late
19th century. All the following vessels were regular
visitors to Swansea , mainly involved in the coal trade. Most of
the vessels have the unmistakeable backdrop of Kilvey Hill.This
company became of particular interest to me as the Belvedere (2)
was my first vessel.
