Hi This is a link about the SS Colombo, wrecked off the Laccadive Islands in 1862 due to a severe cyclonic storm, there were no casualties. http://www.clydesite.co.uk/clydebuilt/viewship.asp?id=8449 Kevin ----- Original Message ----- From: Mme_N_Carmichael To: MARINERS@rootsweb.com Cc: Edie McArthur Sent: Friday, July 29, 2011 8:09 AM Subject: COLOMBO with Belcher as Master, 1864 Hello Edie and List, Belcher is listed as master for her June 4 1864 arrival in Bombay. http://books.google.co.uk/books?id=VmxDAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA529&dq=%22Colombo,+Belcher%22&hl=en&ei=t9wxTra5BaTy0gH-9MnfCw&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCoQ6AEwAA#v=onepage&q=%22Colombo%2C%20Belcher%22&f=true Perhaps she then made an outward trip from Bombay to Colombo and back to Bombay. Otherwise I can't see her still hanging aound India until October and I doubt she had time to make another round trip to England in the four months remaining to her. Regards, Adi
