Ship, The Thistle of Glasgow

Contents

Thistle

When asked the question, is Thistle the same ship as Thistle of Glasgow, Ellen replied as follows.

The name of the ship probably was just "Thistle," not "Thistle of Glasgow." Most of the time, the arrival registrars recorded the ship only by its name (which in this case could be "Thistle"), but sometimes the registrar added the name of the ship's home port (such as "Thistle of Glasgow") or a word for the type of ship (such as "Pink Mary" or "Winter Galley" -- pinks and galleys being types of ships). It can be hard to tell what the actual name of the ships were and what words are additional information.

Some of the same ship names appear several times in the Philadelphia records. When the same ship name appears two or more years in a row, Strassburger and Hinke thought they were likely to be the same ship, but it's also possible that the same name was applied to more than one ship -- particularly when there are gaps of more than between two arrivals of a particular ship name. Proof that there could be two ships with the same name is that two ships named "Neptune" carried migrants to Philadelphia in September 1751!
