*/Thanks to all for the responses. Just by way of information to anyone researching ships don't forget the Gales trial - it's still available, and I managed to find several references to this voyage in several newspapers of the time: Caledonian Mercury/* (Edinburgh, Scotland) */Lloyd's Weekly Newspaper /**/Daily News/* (London, England) Clearance for departure, a couple of sightings at sea, and a notice of arrival.
