Captain William Knapp, Merchant Sea Captain
William Knapp was a sea captain, whose ship sunk in a storm in 1866 off the coast of Florida.He and his wife Isabelle were from Fairfield Connecticut.Is anybody related to these Knapps?Isabelle if I read correctly on another site, later married again, to a George Sanford.Anyways I just acquired a fantastic group of letters written in 1866 to Isabelle after she was widowed.The letters offer a fantastic account of William's ship capsizing, as apparently one crewmember did survive.
