19 ton cutter 'Content' owned by Rupert D'Oyly Carte.

Hello,
I wonder if a knowledgeable yacht enthusiast can help me?

I have been told that a great uncle in the family was the skipper of a yacht owned by the D’Oyly Carte family. Judging by dates I assume this would be in Rupert D’Oyly Carte’s time, and I know he had a racer called Kali, and a cutter ‘Content’.

How would I find out who formed the crew for these and other boats owned by the D’Oyly Carte family?

The name of skipper/crew I am seeking is Edward Lewis Rowse.

I will be most grateful for any pointers.

Give the Royal Yacht Squadron a try, their records go back to 1815.

God bless the D'Oyly Carte company...without them, I am not sure Gilbert & Sullivan would have been known as the composers of fantastic operetta....The Mikado, H.M.S. Pinafore, The Pirates of Penzance, etc...all fun and entertaining music

Too bad the company stopped operations in 2003

Cheers,

Quite so, I "cut my teeth" on them, and love them all, but what I NEED to know is who formed the crew on the yacht.
