General notes:
* All enrollments after the Cleveland, 5/24/1828 entry give the depth as 5'11" which is an error in recording.
** She could have sank late in the season of 1832, 1833, or early in the season of 1834. It was common for an enrollment not to be surrendered if there was any chance of finding or salvaging the vessel.
