General notes

This image was incorrectly labelled as the 'Isabella' ship, which, according to a researcher, left Hobart in August 1863 with the remainder of the 40th Regiment troops for Auckland NZ. The ship was acting as a troop transport and these troops were the last Imperial troops to leave Australia.
