Thanks Lynne, You've given me the shipping line. It looks like it only made one voyage - I wonder what happened to it. I'll follow up the Shaw Saville lead and try to find an image of the ship. It was from the Auckland paper, Southern Cross 21.10.1870, that I found: Name: HUMPHRIES, William Vessel: ESTRELLA. Oct 20 1870 Captain's name: Crowder Date of departure: June 27, 1870 Port of Departure: Liverpool Date of arrival: October 20, 1870 Port of arrival: Auckland Vessel type: Barque Tonnage: 499 The tonnage doesn't match The Times advertisement, but it must be the same ship. Thanks again, Maureen ----- Original Message ----- Hi Maureen, The only information I can find is from The Times Friday June 17 1870 Advertisement NEW ZEALAND - The passengers Line >From Liverpool Estrella, 1000ton - Port Auckland To sail June.
