General notes

One of the ships owned by the Drum Line / Gillison and Chadwick, Liverpool.

This image is from the A.D. Edwardes Collection of about 8,000 photographs, mostly of sailing ships from around the world, taken between about 1865 and 1920. Mounted in 91 albums, the photographs are arranged by country of ownership, with some special volumes such as 'Shipping at Port Adelaide' and 'South Australian outports'. Additional information, giving the history of the ships where known, has been provided by maritime historian, Ron Parsons.

Lloyd's Register 1877-1878 still lists her as a ship so photo could be later than ca.1875. In 1896 was in use as a coal hulk at Gibraltar; part of her life was owned by Wright Bros, Liverpool. [from information supplied].
