"The Voyage of the Amazon" - Hannah Webb's Passage to America



I was looking for an image of the ship that Hannah Webb traveled to America on, knowing that Charles Dickens had visited the ship before it left England and wrote about his impressions. Instead of the image, I found this Ensign article and Hannah Webb is mentioned as being part of the company of Elijah Larkin's family as the passengers organized into families and wards. Hannah is the mother of George Ernest Toone and my own grandmother Hannah is named after her.
