Lloyd's has entries for both a JEAN STEWART and a JANE STEWART, both built in Aberdeen in 1823 of 114 tons. Because JANE STEWART's tonnage is later changed to 135 and they have different destinations, they are currently given seperate entries in the database but some doubt remains whether both genuinely existed.
