THE STARVED SHIP

[Russell Fisher]

Looking for information on the "Starved Ship" out of Northern Ireland
1740, arriving in Mass. U.S.A. Possibility that its real name was the
Sea Flower. Any ideas on how one might find a passenger list?

Subject: Deacon Samuel Fisher 1722 - 1806 N.H.

Looking for descendents of Deacon Samuel Fisher.

please reply to: russ...@fox.nstn.ca

Maybe this is a longshot. I'd love to know if there's a connection.
Here is a story in my family history:

James Otis Delay left Dublin for America in the ship George and Ann
commanded by a captain who was a rascal. According to
tradition this scoundrelly captain on ascertaining that most of
his passengers were possessed of considerable means,
resolved to purposely protract the voyage with the hope of
starving the passengers into a surrender of much of their
resources. He had almost succeeded in his infamous project,
nearly half of those on board having died of their sufferings
(including the father and mother of James Delap and four of
their children) when the survivors were lucky enough to
attract the attention of Captain Henry Ball, commandant of
another Irish emigrant ship. He boarded the ship and on
learning the horrible details of their story he made the captain
land them. Landed at Nonset Bay hear Eastham, Massachusetts.

Is your 1740 a pretty firm date?

If you are serious about tracking down information and descendants, I do have a pedigree chart that my mother has researched. It links my family with the Deacon Fisher.

Gary, Samuel Fisher was my 8 or 9x Grandfather. I come from the George Fisher family line. My Great Grandfather was Melvin Bertie Fisher. My maiden name is Crystal Fisher daughter of Melvin Carl Fisher

After more research Deacon Samuel Fisher's brother William is my great -great- great- great grandfather. Willam came on same ship (**Starved Ship) from Northern Ireland, first to New Hampshire (1722) and eventually to Truro, NS (1762) where his descendants/my immediate family have lived since.

I am sure you can find more information about our great-great-great-great-great Grandfather on the Sprague Project. Marjorie Spoto has a lot of information posted about our family dating back way before William & Samuel.
