The Mercantile Navy List for 1858 has two INDUSTRYs registered in Dublin of which ON25450 sounds as if it might be your vessel. * http://tinyurl.com/qglwzov * In which case the National Archives have a crew list for 1857 filed under BT98/5041. I seem to recall that the NA tend to file by the date the voyage started, whereas Newfoundland (which has no records of any crew agreements for that ON) does it by the year the voyage ended, so it might just be the one you want - or it might be for a previous voyage. If that isn't it, then Australian newspapers suggests the vessel may have been sold in Australia in which case it is just possible the agreement ended up there. *http://tinyurl.com/l3f8hrd . * By the 1862 MNL the vessel 25450 is INDUSTRY of Melbourne.
