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.
