Hi Peggy and Max

The Shipping Gazette (NSW) of 8 Jan 1855 has an entry of the Ebba Brah

Have a look at
http://www.nla.gov.au/ferguson/14403897/18550108/e0120557/1-4.pdf

Also, apparently, the Ocean Monarch is simular to the Ebba Brah, being built
slightly later by the same yard. I have a newspaper reproduction of the
Ocean Monarch if you like.

Pete
