ships details please?

[bevbee]

Can anyone help me with details of 2 ships from the 1850s please?

They are the "Royal Bride" and the "Admiral Napier".

I have tried all the usual sites but failed to find anything other than a brief piece about the loss of the first.

Many thanks,

Bev.

What information are you looking for, found this site for Royal Bride, gave a list of the crew.

Thank you,

I would LOVE to get a copy of the book, so if anyone knows where there would be one to buy online I'd be very grateful.

The details I'm looking for really are things like descriptions of the ships, length of voyage, etc. I've tried looking for images as well but no luck so far.

Thank you,

If you check with the library/organisation (I think it is from Vic State library?) you may be able to get a copy of some of it - "private study" or loan or whatever. Find out where it is - I got slightly confused by the link, and then ask whoever has same

 and gave me a link - I wrote yesterday and received a reply today with an e-mail address for a descendent of the author, so I've just written to her!

I'll let you know what happens. No wonder I love this site!
