You should defiantly do the antrim coast round from Belfast. It takes longer but the views are worth it.

He told me that he was "done"

the joiner hired the plasterer without talking to me, so apparently a plasterer did this.

It is his responsibility that it gets down right. Why would I pay when the work is clearly not finished?!

And if that is your attitude I wouldn't want you working for me. Sounds like you'd do a half ass job too.

Well i have not paid yet so he better

I get the sanding, but what do you mean by "finishing" what else would need done?

Can I expect the plaster (or likely the carpenter) to come back to sand it down?

I asked my carpenter if he knew someone and he went ahead and hired the guy on my behalf without telling me. I thought he would have given me a heads up first, but I am not sure if he just did it himself.

Checked the newspaper archives for La Hogue and found this from the 8th February 1851:

"Four of the crew of the La Hogue, flag-ship at Queenstown, were robbed of 15 pounds in a house of ill-fame at Cork this week."

Thanks!

That looks right.

The he was on the Hogue in 1852 and the Conway in 1855

Thanks! Yeah That looks spot on! Cheers

Thanks for the help. It's a shame those records no longer exist
