List of Sea Captains resident in Barrow and Ulverston
 

The following lists have been taken from a book, "Furness Folk and Facts", published in 1930 by William White, himself a descendant of an Ulverston shipbuilder. Undoubtedley they are incomplete, especially the list for Barrow. I suspect also that some of the captains listed under Ulverston were actually resident in Barrow, or at least some of them such as Robert Charnley and Henry Bond moved to live there as that port superceded Ulverston in the 1860's.

List of Sea Captains who were resident in Ulverston

The list is said to be arranged chronologically but no dates were given - my estimate is that it is from about 1850 to 1890.
