Built 1854 at MD Baltimore USA, builder John J. Abraham owner James Baines, 'Black Ball Line'. Classed as a medium clipper 170 feet 8 inches in length and the beam 35 feet 8 inches. This ship departed from Liverpool, England 14/4/1857. The Captain was William Wallace. Bound for Melbourne, Australia. This ship was wrecked 17/1/1865 at Middle Point later known as Franklin Point while bound for CA San Francisco. Hoping someone can help me locate a picture of this vessel please.
