Immigrants & Emigrants - General / Help with information on the Genghis Khan Passenger Ship 19th century

« on: Wednesday 25 July 12 17:53 BST (UK) »

Hi All, I have been looking around online for information on the voyages of the ship the Genghis Khan out of Waterford in the early 1860's I can only find one reference to her on a bad journey to New South Wales in 1853 and then I have my ancestor john Hill on board her at Dover in Kent as a steward in 1861 on the UK census, any pointers for where to get more information on her would be great, I found where she was built but nothing on her voyages or when she was scrapped? thanks
