Pam Not sure if there is more than one vessel by this name but here is what I found in the London Times. Oct 28, 1861 under "The Bombay Mail" it says the Hope, Rhone and Egyptian, from Liverpool, had arrived at Gibraltar. Oct 29, 1861 under the same heading it says: "22d, [Oct 22] the Hope, Captain C. Baker, 12 days from Liverpool and 7 from Holyhead, for Malta and Alexandria..." I checked the sailings on the 8-12 of Oct in the Ship News but did not see the sailing of this vessel. Regards..
