    3. Can anyone help me with information about this ship, built by Steele and Co at Greenock in 1874? She was used mainly in the Java sugar trade but made voyages to the west coast of the USA, Japan, New Zealand, Australia and South Africa. I've uploaded an image of a painting of her to the Mariners Photo Gallery site. I've been compiling her history and have quite a lot of information on her voyages up to 1896, when she was sold to the Fratelli Cosulich in Trieste. In particular, I am seeking a photograph of her - I can't find one on the web, though there are photos of her sister ships Eurydice and Niobe. Also, any information on her voyages or history after 1896, when her home port was Trieste, would be very valuable Cheers Ultra039
