Notes
a. Note:   info Rae Archermann - Hamilton - I am not sure if she belongs to this family ************ Blue Jacket Ship: 1790 tons Captain: Stevens Surgeon Superintendent: Sailed London 5th August 1865 - arrived Lyttelton 13th November 1865 Captain Stevens reported on the voyage out to Lyttelton in 1865, the Blue Jacket left Gravesend on August 5, and anchored in the Downs during boisterous weather until the 6th, taking her final departure from Ushant on the 13th. A week after sailing a serious mutiny broke out (the cargo having been broached previously), which was promptly repressed, and the ring-leader secured, not before the second mate had received a fearful gash on his head, 4½ inches long with a sheath knife, nearly bleeding to death before the arteries could be tied and the wound sewn up. The first officer also received a severe blow on the face from an iron belaying pin by the ruffian who had tried to kill the second mate. The Snares were passed on November 8th, when light winds were experienced until arrival in port. The Blue Jacket during this voyage covered in 31 consecutive days the extraordinary distance of 7,538 nautical knots, an average of over 243 miles daily; quite one half of the whole distance from England to New Zealand.
