Three ships are sailing to England: the Deliverance, the Odyssey, and the Triumph.
One of the ships is docking at Cowes, one at Dover, and one at Newhaven.

The Deliverance is docking later than the ship arriving at Dover.

Using this information, figure out the time and place of each ship's docking.
