The ship "Duke of Westminster" came to Brisbane in 1886 according to Trove. At http://members.iinet.net.au/~perthdps/shipping/mig-qld4.htm it arrived in Townsville in January of that year. There were two Donnellys on board, but neither seems relevant. The Mahogany Ship is supposed to be buried under the dunes near Warrnambool.
