Hi Sean,

The TRIPOLI was a 2,057 gross ton steamship, length 292.5ft x beam 38.2ft,
clipper bows, one funnel, two masts, iron hull, single screw, speed 11
knots, accommodation for 50-1st and 650-3rd class passengers.
Built by J & G. Thomson, Glasgow, she was launched on 15th Aug.1863 for
Cunard SS Co's Mediterranean services. On 19th Aug.1865 she started her
first Liverpool - Halifax - New York voyage and between 1865-1872 sailed
between Liverpool - Queenstown - New York (many voyages via Boston).
Latterly she sailed Liverpool - Queenstown - Boston and made a total of 45
North Atlantic voyages. On 17th May 1872 she was wrecked on Tuskar Rock. St.
George's Channel with no loss of life. [North Atlantic Seaway, vol.1,p.148
by N.R.P.Bonsor]

Sorry but cannot help with a photo (there is what purports to be a photo of
the TRIPOLI at http://www.schiffspost.com/flotte_t.htm but this is the
wrong ship]

regards
Ted
