Fishing Vessel " BAND of HOPE "

[baloo]

Hi, Has any one out there got any information on the above vessel, I know she was out on Hastings Port of Rye, and I have a record of her in the 1881 census which was take in Plymouth Devon.
  I have an ancestor Thomas Adams who I think was a crew member.

  Many thanks  Baloo
