Denise, A couple of silly questions. Do you know the name of the ship? Did it visit ANY major port in Australia? If yes to both questions I would suggest "Log of Logs" Brian. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Denise" <denisem@powerup.com.au> To: <AUS-VIC-HIGH-COUNTRY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, January 04, 2006 2:07 PM Subject: [HC] Ships built in 1850 > I am hoping someone may know of a link to a website which could possibly give me information on a ship commissioned in 1850 by a Canadian - in Canada. > > This is probably a long shot, but I've got to try. > So far googling hasn't done much for me. > regards > Denise > > >

Brian hi so late at night No. Not to my knowledge. It was built by a subject of ours (Canadian/Americans) about 1850 in Nova Scotia. The descendants and I have been in touch with many, have tried to find details of this ship. Letters written in 1850 exist but the author didn't bother to name the ship which had just been launched. They know most likely where it was built, have been to the museum there (which is presently shut for 9 months winter) and no luck. I was hoping a website may just throw his name and the ship at me! (g) This guy then lived in Beechworth nowhere near the sea, so built furniture and coffins.
