I’m not wanting to pour cold water on the ship idea, however I think the reason it ended in Southampton is due to family links. I’ve taken a trial subscription to an Ancestry website and details on that site plus a copy of a will (not that of Mr Francis) from the Probate service shows that Mr Francis had a relative in the suburb of Southampton where the Oxfam furniture store was/is.
