Record of newspaper & other source occurances of SEAFARING CRIPPIN/CRIPPEN names, hopefully of use to someone. Feel free to add your own newspaper/other source accounts as a reply when you encounter Crippen mariners. Several of these seafaring Crippens seemed to appear in the newspapers frequently; especially the name of Thomas. Since it was difficult to determine a location to assign to the newspaper accounts; decided to create the Seafaring subject. Not in chronological order, transcribed as written (old script f converted to s when appropriate). Scan copies to members of the Crippen Bulletin Board available on request.
SEE Pennsylvania for another Crippen, a sailmaker.
