Comment

The text says "1859 June: Wrecked on the Sisters Rocks near the Kent Group, eastern Bass Strait". However, this was the final fate of a different vessel called Burra Burra, a schooner built in 1852 with official number 31679 and so should not be included in the story of the steamer Burra Burra
