General History:
09/05/1884:
Meeting of local marine board to investigate charges of drunkeness and misconduct against Robert D. Lynch, late Master of ASSHUR. Edwin Philips, formerly mate of ASSHUR, stated that on 12 May 1882 Master was intoxicated on voyage between New York and Satilla River, Georgia and again when vessel was in Pernambuco Roads. When vessel reached Mersey on Tues. 2 April he went ashore and did not return until following Friday, when he appeared to have been drinking. Mate had to be put on the register so he could report the ship in the absence of the Master. A clerk with Messrs Patton, Vickers & Co., the brokers of the vessel, stated that, though the ship came in on the Tuesday, Master did not appear at the office till Friday. Court found charges proved and suspended Capt. Lynch's certificate for 6 months.
