        History

        The barque Thomas Killam was built at Yarmouth, N.S., in 1855 by Dennis Horton. It was owned by numerous local merchants, including John Killam Ryerson. Captains of the vessel included Amos Crosby and Henry Payne. The vessel was abandoned in the North Atlantic on 30 March 1866 on a voyage from Antwerp to New York with a cargo of sundries. During a bad storm the ship sprung a leak and the vessel began to take on water. The crew abandoned ship. All hands were saved, however the vessel was lost.
