Collina - Colina
- to be rewritten and identity of ships' identities and spelling clarified. - do see our blog
In 1840 Enos Page and William Read are in business together. In 1841 Read's brig the Colina is lost and an insurance claim made. In 1844 Read was accused that he did 'incite and procure one William Simpson, feloniously and maliciously to cast away and destroy a certain vessel called the 'Colina', on the high sea...' It would appear that both the court and the Nautical Magazine spelled the name Colina incorrectly in its account of Simpson and Read's trial.
Hugh Moffat, in Ships and Shipyards of Ipswich, uses the 2 L spelling when quoting Ipswich sources (Ipswich Journal I5 Feb 1840 IJ 16th March,23 March, 20 April, I9 Oct I844). Colina is only used in the Nautical Magazine article and the Old Court's indictment.
Additionally, thus suggesting that the references below refer to the same ship, it was stated in the trial that '...when she was delivered to Read and Page she was rather an old vessel. She was of American build, and was in rather tight condition.'

The following records enquiries about a Collina working between Bideford and Canada which might nave been Read's Colina however though the former was lost in the same year as Read's Colina she was not the same vessel as the following shows:

According to the New York _Evening Post_, the British brig COLLINA,
[Charles L.] Hawes, master, arrived at New York on 1 May 1832, 34 days
from Biddeford, in ballast, to order, with 48 passengers. You will find a
microfilm copy of the passenger manifest for this voyage, dated 2 May
1832, in National Archives Microfilm Publication M237, roll 16, list #247
for 1832. You can borrow a copy of this microfilm through AGLL, any LDS
(Mormon) Family History Center (Family History Library microfilm
#0002261), or Interlibrary Loan.
According to the _Evening Post_, the British brig EUPHEMIA, [Samuel]
Vine, master, arrived at New York on 8 May 1832, from Biddeford 28 March
1832, in ballast, to order, with 39 passengers. You will find a
microfilm copy of the passenger manifest for this voyage, dated 17 May
1832, in National Archives Microfilm Publication M237, roll 16, list #312
for 1832. You can borrow a copy of this microfilm through the sources
listed above.
> Does anyone know if maybe these ships continued on to Wilmington, NC?
Unfortunately, the clearances and sailings listed by the New York _Evening
Post_ are incomplete, and I am unable to determine when, and for what
port, either the COLLINA or the EUPHEMIA cleared. You can find this
information in the semi-weekly newspaper _Shipping and Commercial List
and New York Price Current_, which is available on microfilm through
Interlibrary Loan.

Known Sailings between Bideford & Canada 1818-1855 - compiled by Arthur Dark arthur@dark.fslife.co.uk
The table, which contains details of many other ships, has 11 references to A Collina carrying passengers from Bideford to Prince Edward Island Canada between 1830 and 1840. However the final voyage appears to be after the date on which Read & Page effected insurance on her, so undermining this being the same ship as the Colina.

Really 'Bollina'?

The Collina above has a tonnage of 416 which seems too large for Read's Colina/Collina
