Hello again, Paul, Further to my last post: 1) specific date of casualty - 3 October, 1860 2) specific date of rescue of crew - 5 October, 1860 3) The balance of the crew of SIR JOHN RENNIE were taken off by the French brig EMILIE FELIX and landed at Copenhagen. My computer has no right-click functions so I cannot cut and paste links. However if you Google for ["Sir John Rennie" waterlogged], you will get a link to a New Zealand paper on  "Papers Past" which has a fuller account (though they have the name of the rescuing vessel incorrectly). 4) The master of the French brig, Vincent M. Nicolaxo was voted a gold watch out of Parliamentary money for his services. There is an account of the rescue on Google Books in Parliamentary Papers 1861, "Accounts and Papers in 36 Volumes". It's in the Shipping & Trade Volume. Once again, I  cannot cut and paste the link for you, but it will be easily found (Nicolaxo is a rare word to use as a search parameter). Regards, Adi On Sat, 8/8/09, Paul Andrews <andrews43@ntlworld.com> wrote Good morning people I would be interested in any information that anyone would have on the following ship. I understand that she sank in the Baltic Sea in October 1860 following a storm. I've been searching the net for a picture but alas have not been successful yet.
