Hi there, Can anyone provide any information on the 600 tons iron steamship EBRO built 1853 by Scott & Co. Greenock for their own account. I am seeking the career and ultimate fate of this ship. Thank you in advance, Joe McMillan, South Australia.

Hi Joe She is listed in Lloyds up to 1857 with the following detail. Ebro Iron Scr Stm 585 grs / 395 nrt Owner = Tintore & {blank} Port = Brcelon Voyage = Cly . Brcelon Last survey = 1853 As her last (only) survey was 1853 it looks like the builder sent her to Spain with a cargo and a for-sale sign hanging on the mast. I don't see an O.N under this name and reg year so its safe to assume she was sold in Spain. On the off chance that she came back to the British Registry with a new name I have extracted a list of steamers from the MNL 1860 whose NRT falls between 385 and 410 , 42 vessels, will send off line if all else fails it may be worth a check.

Hi Mick, Thank`s for that,the Clydesite database does not give any other data on this ship so you could be correct in stating that she was sold to Spanish owners shortly after completion.Probably was built as a speculation by the builders.Any other info will be most welcome. Cheers, Joe. ----- Original Message ----- From: Mick To: Mariners ; Joe McMillan Sent: Sunday, April 24, 2011 12:21 AM Subject: Re: [MAR] SS Ebro Hi Joe She is listed in Lloyds up to 1857 with the following detail.
