1985, I went to London to check on English sources to verify the disastrous voyage of the Delaps.I could find no record concerning the alleged trial and execution of the ship's captain. The admiralty records for this trial must have been kept in Ireland and would have been destroyed by the IRA in 1922. I have never made it to Ireland and have found no published records that give enough information to identify the Delap family better. The prerogative court wills & published census records list none for Cavan. My sister made it to Ireland a couple years ago and with limited time found nothing in Dublin.
