"From: Captain Peter H King FNI <imatang1@btinternet.com>
Subject: John Jordan; patent for Composite ShipsIn connection with research I am undertaking into the history of the clipper Thermopylae, I am trying to source a copy of the Patent held by John Jordan in respect to Composite Ships, dated 1849. At the time, Jordan was a partner in the Liverpool shipbuilding firm Jordan and Getty. Jordan's original patent was due to expire in 1863, but it was renewed in that year for 7 years in the names of George and Henry Jordan. The patent lapsed in 1870 (when composite ships fell out of fashion).
Any help you may be offer would be sincerely appreciated.
