Looking for picture or portrait of the ship "LUCY"

[Fleetz]

Hi,

First time poster having just joined the forum. Wow what an amazing bunch of people here. I have been trolling through tons of post and the experience that exists here is bewildering!

Been on my family name history for a solid 4 months been an interesting journey so far. Currently back to c.1650 having followed our family back to Liverpool. I live in Australia and our Aussie forefathers came from Liverpool on a ship called the Lucy in 1850 to South Australia.

I am currently writing up the story of from then until now in support of the database which has been compiled. I have searched without any sussess for an image of Lucy. Certainly exhausted the Australian side and wondering if anyone has any idea where there might be somewhere that might have an image of the Lucy vessel. All I know was it 1129 Tonnes and as I said earlier it left from Liverpool in 1850 bound from Pt Adelaide in South Australia.

Any assistance in pointing me any possible locations would be greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Ian

Hi Ian,

From a few searches online I think there may have been a few ships named the 'Lucy'?

I know one was a used here;

If you google (copy & paste);

'photos of the lucy passenger ship for immigration'

you may find something?
