| Abstract | The Timoleon was chartered once [in 1846] by the [Adelsverein, or] Society [of Noblemen]. A search for the passenger manifest for 1845/1846 reveals some conflicting information. One source states that the Timoleon and another Society ship, the American bark Nahant, departed Antwerp on 25 November 1845, carrying 167 and 130 passengers respectively. When the Nahant shipwrecked on the English coast on 18 March 1846 the Timoleon took on board the passengers from the ship-wrecked ship. "Documentary evidence shows. . . that the Nahant and the Timoleon did not depart Europe together . . .and the Timoleon had been chartered to pick up the shipwrecked passengers." |
