Maritime Monday: Captain William Mapplebeck's Last Voyage
William Mapplebeck, the uncle of my great-grandmother Kathleen Graham's stepfather/adoptive father James Mapplebeck, was the captain of the ship Friends of Goole, East Riding of Yorkshire, England. In early November 1875, he delivered Apollinaris mineral water to Scotland.
