Update re the above excellent and recommended website for all things Glamorgan, the site's creator Bob Sanders has kindly advised me to access it via

Towards the bottom of the blue "home" page is the best search box for the whole site

Using this and the name Dowle, I got the following additional hits that I imagine will be of interest to you Jo.

(As you might expect there were Severn-based ships in several lists).

SHIPS IN PORT AT HIGHBRIDGE, PORTISHEAD & BRIDGWATER, SOMERSET 1881.

Vessel: "Happy Go Lucky"

John DOWELL M 24 M Aylburton, Gloucester, England Mate
Charles BULLEX U 25 M Frampton, Gloucester, England A B Seaman
George BLAKEMORE U 19 M Newent, Gloucester, England O Seaman


SHIPS IN PORT AT BRISTOL, GLOUCESTERSHIRE 1881, PART 1.

Vessel: "Lydney Packet"

James GOATMAN U 38 M Frampton on Severn, Gloucester Able Seaman
George HAMLETT U 29 M Saul Nr Stonehouse, Gloucester Able Seaman
William DOWLE 14 M Aylburton Lydney, Gloucester Boy

The surname Dowell, Dowle appears quite often in other ships from home ports in the West Country, suggesting possible links too ?

Sadly the name "Black Dwarf" doesnt appear in the lists, perhaps not surprising as 1881 was a decade or so before the Clyde Puffers became common in coastal waters.
