    The Kidston vessel Roseneath was a fixture in Halifax every spring and autumn from 1857 to 1882. Roseneath was also remarkable in that it was the first iron ship to sail into Halifax Harbour. It was a packet (a vessel which kept a regular schedule) of 739 tons, and would often spend a month in port unloading an extensive cargo of general merchandise. A typical cargo included 16 bundles of hoop iron, one bale of general merchandise, 68 winches, 393 bales of hemp yarn, 175 castings, 260 bundles of sheet iron, 113 bars of iron, 45 bales and a “quantity of junk.” Other cargo for an assortment of merchants included whiskey, wine and rum. Roseneath would return to Glasgow either via Sydney (where it would load coal destined
    to Montreal), Philadelphia (where it would load petroleum), or Savannah (where it would pick up a cargo of cotton).

    Excerpt from "The Stairs Fleet of Halifax: 1788-1926" pages 290 & 291

    iI've just found this website and very interested whether a picture of the Roseneath has been traced as I note that your enquiry was over a year ago. The First Mate Duncan Taylor and his wife Marion (nee Campbell) and their son wee Peter were all drowned when the Roseneath was wrecked off Portpatrick. Duncan and Marion were my Great Grandparents. Duncan's and wee Peter's bodies were recovered and taken to Saltcoats for burial. There is no record of Marion Taylor (Campbell)'s body being found and her maiden surname "Campbell" has been handed down through my family. If anyone knows whether there is a picture of the Roseneath I would if possible like a copy for my Taylor book. Gloria Marley (nee Campbell Webster)

    Hello Gloria, Welcome to the site. No photograph was found of the Roseneath that I am aware of and unfortunately the original poster did not confirm if he had checked our proposed sources. If you try those they may be helpful, please let us know how you get on.
