Hi Listers, Could someone help me with more information on the above ship. My ancestor arrived in Melbourne, Australia in July 1854 as an unassisted passenger on this ship. I think it sailed from England.I would like to know what port, the Master & ship description please. Regards from Keith in a very frosty (Minus 5 degrees) Orange, NSW.
