"Emperor " Arrived Aust. 1851

[Chris Frater]

I am looking for information on a boat that arrived in Australia on 6 Jun 1851 I have ancestors from Scotland that came on the "Emperor ". I am unsure where the "Emperor " sailed from or when it left.  I am also looking for information on the boat 'where it was built, when, how big it was, who was captain.' Also if anyone has any information on its journey to Australia.

Thanking You All
Chris

Always worth browsing the resources on this very board!  Trish's thread on Passenger Lists for Eastern Mainland Australia and the Australia Resources Board.  This is another site which has some descriptions and even pictures of ships:
