You wouldn't by chance have a list of the crew on this voyage. I was looking for info on a relative, William Lyman Cone of East Haddam, CT and found that he spent 26 months at sea on the bark Tropic Bird. Googled it and ended up at this blog.

Yes I do and Wm L. Cone Jr. from "Eastham" was a crew member.

Send me a direct email. Address is under my photo in the upper left corner of the blog.
