Story of the Phantom Ship. Briefly, in Jan 1646 a ship of 80 tons was cut 3 miles through the ice from the port at New Haven to escape an especially cold winter to go to England for supplies. It was carrying peas, wheat, hides and beaver pelts and 70 of New Havens finest citizens. It was never heard from again, except two years later when it appeared out of a fog bank and passed within hands reach of another ship just outside the New Haven harbor, disappearing again into the fog. George Lamberton was Capt of the Phantom Ship.
ãThere appeared over the harbor at New Haven, in the evening, the form of the keel of a ship with three masts, to which were suddenly added the tackling and sails, and presently after, upon the top of the poop, a man standing with one hand akimbo under his left side, and in his right hand a sword stretched out toward the sea. Then from the side of the ship which was from the town arose a great smoke which covered all the ship and in that smoke she vanishes away; but some saw her keel sink into the water. This was seen by many, men and women, and it continued about a quarter of an hour.ä -Gov. John Winthrop
The Phantom Ship
By Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
In Matherâs Magnalia Christi
Of the old colonial time,
May be found in prose the legend
That is here set down in rhyme.
A ship sailed from New Haven,
And the keen and frosty airs,
That filled her sails in parting
Were heavy with good menâs prayers.
ãO Lord! If it be thy pleasureä ö
They prayed the old divine_
ãTo bury our friends in the ocean,
Take them, for they are thine!ä
But MasterLamberton muttered
And under his breath said he
ãThis ship is so crank and walty
I fear our grave she will be!ä
And the ships that came from England
When the winter months were gone,
Brought no tiding of this vessel!
Nor of Master Lamberton
This put the people to praying
That the Lord would let them hear
What in his greater wisdom
He had done to friends so dear.
And at last our prayers were answered:
It was in the month of June
An hour before sunset
Of a windy afternoon.
When, steadily steering landward,
A ship was seen below,
And they knew it was Lamberton, Master,
Who sailed so long ago.
On she came with a cloud of canvas,
Right against the wind that blew,
Until the eye could distinquish
The faces of the crew.
Then fell her straining top mast,
Hanging tangled in the shrouds,
And her sails were loosend and lifted,
And blown away like clouds.
And the masts, with all their rigging,
Fell slowly, one by one,
And the hulk dialated and vanished,
As a sea-mist in the sun!
And the people who saw thus marveled
Each said unto his friend,
That this was the mould of their vessel,
And thus her tragic end.
And the pastor of the village
Gave thanks to God in Prayer,
That, to quiet their troubled spirits,
He had sent this Ship of Air.


(Note: Deacon James Trowbridge, brother of Elizabeth Trowbridge, above, married (1) Lydia Alsop, daughter of Joseph Alsop and Elizabeth Preston. Elizabeth was an older sister of Marie Preston who married Peter Mallory. Christopher Gibson of Dorsett, MA, who married Sarah Sale, sister of Elizabeth Sale, first wife of William Preston and mother of Elizabeth and Marie Preston, refers in his will to Joseph Alsop as his cousin. Joseph Alsop came to the New World in 1635 age 14 on the Elizabeth and Anne with Daniel Preston, older brother of Elizabeth and Marie Preston, and Josephâs brother, Thomas Alsop age 20. . ALSO, Marie and Elizabeth had half-brothers, Jeheil and Hackaliah (twin) who married Fairchild sisters, Sarah and Emma, who were issue of Robert Seabrookâs daughter. Robert Seabrook was thought to be father of Marie Seabrook who was second wife, after Elizabeth Sale, of William Preston. If this is the case, then both Jeheil and Hackaliah married their first cousins)

Trowbridge-490 and Trowbridge-52 appear to represent the same person because: These are the same person who was the wife of Peter Mallory, Jr.
