Hi Pearl; I searched pretty diligently for HMS Columbine--with mixed results. There were /a number /of British ships by that name. There was even one by that name that fought at the Battle of Trafalgar. One sank off South Africa in 1829. Another was stranded at Rotterdam in1855. Below is a list of urls w/ extracts which may prove useful. My money is on the ship that was launched in 1826.

Hi Masugu, Many thanks for your help; I tend to agree with you that it was probably the one launched in 1826. All very interesting reading!
