O'Brien was a regular, sailing between Halifax, NS and Boston. Nine trips Halifax-Boston in 1864 alone. The last trip for the bark appears to have been 1866. There were several different "HALIFAX" sailing from Halifax to Boston . . eg. from a brig HALIFAX 92 tons in 1847 to a steamship HALIFAX in 1893. You can check all the sailings using Steve Morse's one-step pages http://www.stevemorse.org/ Sue -- TheShipsList Website http://www.theshipslist.com/
