Notes:
- A story in which the second mate of the ship, John Hancock, predicted the ship would wreck when it set sail to Manila with its figurehead removed. (Carpenter & Northend, 1912)
- After the ship's disaster the figurehead "bust remained over the door of a large building at Phillips Wharf, but it was finally purchased by the late John W. Chandler and may now be found in Brookline, Massachusetts." (Carpenter & Northend, 1912)
