I am wondering if anyone would have any history for the ship or its crew. I believe he was a member of the ship’s crew, most likely ships carpenter, as he was a shipwright by trade and his family owned a small yard in Dublin I understand from family stories that on the voyage the Industry got into difficulties somewhere off the coast of Australia and as far as we know the ship arrived in the Port of Melbourne. I am not sure what happened to the ship after it arrived in Australia but in any event John Mallin never returned home to Ireland. According to family stories he went gold prospecting in the Bendigo region of Victoria. We believe that he died in a mining accident there. Any information on the history of the Industry, and its crew would be a great help to me in my research.
