What type of ship? Can anyone identify what ship this is? This is a family photo and the Cap’n (seated) is definitely a Hitchens (from Feock and Gerrans). Could it be a brig or is it a steam ship? If it is a brig it could be The Crossowen which sank off Burgh Island in 1908 with all hands lost. She left Fowey with a cargo of china clay and her captain was George Rogers Hitchens and all but one of her crew were Cornish. If this ship is a brig then it could be the ill-fated Cossowen and possibly her crew.
