A steam launch carried on deck is mentioned as well.
Cooke and Holland, Exploration, 274, name only Low’s yacht.

942 –

Wakeham, Report of the Expedition to Hudson Bay, 35, 41, 43, refers to Bell’s yacht.

943 – Nimrod.

Wakeham, Report of the Expedition to Hudson Bay, 24, 42; and 4, 22, 28, 62, 76, indicates unknown numbers of Newfoundland fishermen frequented the “great cod fishing resources,” situated off Port Burwell, the Button Islands, and Sir Terence O’Brien’s Harbour, Cape Chidley. Insufficient detail is supplied for vessel identification in Wakeham’s report.
See also John J. Evans, ed., “Brief Sketch of Captain George Barbour,” Newfoundland Quarterly 14, no. 1 (July 1914): 34, on Newfoundland vessels’ presence.
Winsor, Stalwart Men and Sturdy Ships, 57, supplies one possible, though not certain, match for the vessel.
ACSP, Vessel Registry, “Nimrod,” Official Number 055047, describes the steam/sail vessel noted in Winsor as owned by Thomas R. Job and William Grosfield, operating out of Liverpool. The schooners, Official Number 101333 owned by merchant Edwin Duder of St. John’s, and 071946, owned by merchant Robert Stewart of Harbour Grace, Conception Bay, also qualify as potential matches.
