1860's ship

[BumbleB]

Any ideas, please on what this ship might have have looked like:

Annie Archbell -
Built 1860 in Sunderland (possibly by Peverall)- 706 tons, 155 long x 32 breadth x 21 deep (assume feet  )  Vessel number 28391.  Designated as a ship rather than a barque.
She was built under special survey!? (indicated by * against her name) 
F&YM63pt64cf. 
She was lost on Terschelling Bank, Netherlands, 13 April 1867, with the loss of 4 lives.  The pilot boat crew were rewarded by HM the Queen for the rescue of the crew. 

I have her sailings 1861-1862 - London to Australia and then to 1867 London to China.

I'd just like to know what she might have looked like, please

One definition of a "ship" is--an 18th or 19th century first rank sailing vessel with a bowsprit and 3 or more square rigged masts each with a lowermast ,topmmast and topgallantmast.
If you search for "Balclutha",there are photos and details of her,she is preserved in San Francisco,so you could take a flight and go aboard !

Balclutha is a big ship, 301 feet long and 38 feet beam, but they all look the same to me.

I think a ship was built and rigged for speed, whereas a barque is broader and built for load carrying.

Perhaps the Cutty Sark might be similar, but I am no expert.

Thank you, at least I have a better idea of what she might have looked like

Balclutha is more than twice the tonnage,but they are both "ships",square rigged.

Many thanks.  Yes, Stan, I had seen that article previously, and in fact contributed to it, but it's still good to see again.

So I'm probably looking at a 3-masted sqare-rigged vessel.

Thanks again.
