Hi Evelyn
That explains my great grandfather's interest in ships ! As I mentioned, he had two clippers, Morning Light and Evening Mist. I called my last boat Morning Light too. One of my uncles has oil paintings of them. When you say 'Penang', do you mean the Penang in Malaysia or is there another Penang in the UK ?
I'd love to find out what you know about them. My email address is
adam@sculpturebythesea.ca.
Are you related to William Tayler ? Would you like me to dig out the info I have on my great grandfather's adventures in Australia ?
Cheers
Adam
