Evidence limits
The archived forum thread does not provide a complete crew list, route, departure record, vessel history, or independent confirmation of the voyage. The linked external tracking site is not held in this project.
Sources
- A participant introduced the sailingtoireland.com tracker for a black Galway Hooker remembered from Gillespie's dock; later replies reported uncertainty during the Atlantic passage and then a safe arrival at Lettermore, County Galway. The external tracker and voyage log are not preserved locally, so the forum is evidence of community attention and reported arrival, not a complete nautical record.forum · www.beaverislandforum.com · 00 · t000592
