Hi Peggy and Max The Shipping Gazette (NSW) of 8 Jan 1855 has an entry of the Ebba Brah Have a look at http://www.nla.gov.au/ferguson/14403897/18550108/e0120557/1-4.pdf Also, apparently, the Ocean Monarch is simular to the Ebba Brah, being built slightly later by the same yard. I have a newspaper reproduction of the Ocean Monarch if you like.
