Footnotes[edit]

  1. ^ Some vessels attributed to Thomas Stack in some sources are not included here. For example, the schooner Emily Keith, built in 1854, is erroneously attributed to Stack in the New-York Shipping Register of 1858, but other sources confirm the builder was Stack's former partner Ariel Patterson.
  2. ^ Name = name of ship. Where a ship had more than one name in its career, later names are listed in descending order, with each followed by a two-digit figure representing the last two digits of the year (where known) that the renaming took place.
  3. ^ Type = ship type.
  4. ^ Built = year of ship launch, where available, or else year of completion.
  5. ^ Ton. = tonnage of ship; registered (ie official) tonnage where available. Some tonnages may only be approximations, reported by newspapers prior to the ship's official measurement.
  6. ^ Party which ordered the ship.
  7. ^ The longer name (with the added "e") first appears in American Lloyds in 1881; whether it represents an actual name change to the ship, or just a spelling correction in the register, is not known. Grahams Polley, for whom the ship was evidently named, was a well known Brooklyn philanthropist, who at one time was also the next-door neighbor of Ariel Patterson. The ship's name is also often misspelled Graham's Polly (i.e. with an apostrophe).
