Thank you putting together this page on the Idler and the Corrigan shipwreck. My husband is the great, great grandson of John Corrigan and the great, great nephew of James. John's wife, Mary and daughter were on this sailing. John and Mary's daughter sadly did not survive the shipwreck. But even sadder is that James lost almost his entire family - his wife, three daughters and granddaughter - with the exception of his son, James Jr. It was never discussed in the family and I've learned so much through articles I've discovered over the years. Unfortunately, my mother-in-law Dorothy Davis Naismith, great granddaughter passed before I could share much of what I have discovered.
