    2. alex442
    3. I could use some info on a vessel named Cristoval Colon. The only data I have is from the Lloyd's List circa 1825 to 1853, or mayby 1858 (I have not checked out yet my files 1854-58 for this vessel). It first appears as a Swedish flag vessel maily sailing from and to Stockholm, Masters:- Polander (1825); Leming (1829); Behrman (1834-36); Hiedtman (1836-39); Kullenberg (1839-41); Wulff (1842-43). Then is quoted as Norwegian flag, 136 tons. Master:- Ericksen (1845-53), and sailing mostly from and to Skien, only her first entry shows her sailing out from Stockholm, then mostly from Skien. I also found several entries in the "Cargo Bills of Entry" 1850-1854-1855. 1854, master P. Ericksen, Nationality: Norway, crew: 7, one entry gives 160 tons, the next one 142 tons. 1855, gives: of Skien, 142 tons, crew: 8. I could use the following data:- When & where she was built, tonnage, dimensions, class (brig ? barque ?), owners. Thanks for any help given. Alex Mariners-L alex442, alex442@virgilio.it 10/9/2011
