PRINCESS MARY packet ship 1805

[aukepalmhof]

The stamp gives MARY but there was only one vessel used in the packet service from Falmouth to the West Indies and that was the PRINCESS MARY, the stamp did not give the complete name.
Built in Dartmouth in 1805 for N. Pocock, he was also the master.
179 Ton, not a dimension given.

From Mr Benn of the World Ship Society I got the following information on her sailing schedule.
Maybe a little dull reading but it gives you an idea what a small packet ship was doing around that time.
