Re: [TSL] [MAR] Voyage of the "Hope" UK to Australia 1861-62
"Ted Finch" <mariners-l@efinch90.fsnet.co.uk> on 08/12/2010

Hello Pam,

The HOPE was a 1,104 ton wooden hulled sailing ship, 185ft x 36ft x 22.8ft, 
built by P. Valin, Quebec as the BEE in 1856.
1860 sold to Black Ball Line and renamed HOPE. Between 1860 and 1863 she 
sailed between Liverpool and Melbourne and in 1864 was offered for sale at 
Calcutta. Not sold to Glasgow owners until Jan.1867.

Sorry but cannot find a photo.

regards
Ted

Hello Listers

            Late in 1861, Agnes Fin(d)lay McCALL (née SMITH) left the UK
(most likely Scotland) on the "Hope" bound for Victoria, Australia where it
arrived in January 1862, with Agnes (31), Agnes jnr (10), Alex (7), Jessey
(5) and Eliza (3) on board - to join John McCall, their husband and father,
who had arrived in 1860 on the "Empire of Peace".

            Is anyone able to give me the date and port of departure please?
And anything about the vessel - maybe a picture?

            Many thanks

            Pam
            Beaudesert, Queensland, Australia
