 On the maiden voyage from Tralee to Quebec in April 1848, a boy was born aboard the ship.To mark the unusual surroundings of his birth, the parents, Daniel and Margaret Reilly, named the baby Nicholas (after the co-owner of the vessel Nicholas Donovan) Johnston (after the ship) so Nicholas Johnston Reilly was added to the passenger list.In 1855, the ship was sold to William Johnson of North Shields in England.
