:''For the town in Wales, see Denbigh. For the former town in Virginia, USA, see Denbigh, Virginia.'' The Denbigh was a paddle steamer constructed in 1860 at the shipyard of ''John Laird, Son, and Company'' at Birkenhead, England at a cost of £10,150. She was a fast ship for her time, recording in her proving trials. She was delivered to her owner, Robert Gardner of Manchester, on 26 September 1860, after which she operated the route between Liverpool and Rhyl, north Wales for the next three years. In September 1863 the ''Denbigh'' was purchased by the ''European Trading Company'' – a partnership between the H.O. Brewer Company, a trading company of Mobile, Alabama, Confederate States of America, Emile Erlanger & Co., bankers from Paris, France, and J. H. Schröder & Co., bankers of Manchester. The company bought ships to run the United States' naval blockade of Southern ports. The United States Consul in Liverpool, Thomas Dudley, immediately noted the ''Denbigh'' and sent a report to the State Department which included the description: Schooner rigged, side wheel steamer "Denbigh" of Liverpool -- 162 tons. Captain McNevin Carriers -- Northe Dock for Bermuda & Havannah. Mose & Co. Cosignees. The following is her present description, subject to alteration: After almost two years of blockade-running and 13 successful trips, ''Denbigh'' ran aground on Bird Key, off Galveston, where she was destroyed by Union naval vessels on May 24, 1865.〔(Denbigh day-by-day )〕 ==Some members of ''Denbigh''s' crew== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Denbigh (ship)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
