Beginnings of the TEMPEST

Family tradition has passed down accounts of our emigrating ancestors as passengers on the TEMPEST. According to family historians, they sailed for America immediately after their wedding (in Corwen, Wales) which ocurred April 26, 1851 . Our female ancestor was voted "the prettiest lady on board" and was awarded a dozen silver spoons, which she handed out to mothers of sick children for their medicine during this "six week journey". This becomes a mystery. According to your records, the TEMPEST was launched by Handysides & Co. in Dec. 1854 as a sailing ship. It became a member of the Anchor Line and was reported as "never heard of" after her 1857 voyage from New York. Is it possible to get the "pre-Handysides & Co" records? I am still looking for the port the TEMPEST sailed to and a passenger list. Thanks in advance. Marilyn Orange Texas, USA
