I have discovered that this vessel became a shipwreck on a reef just off the shore at Sunset Beach (Geraldton WA) in 1863.Over the many years of walking on this beach and discovering the many pieces of shaped timbers that looked like they had come from a wooden vessel I now know where they have come from.I would love to see a sketch or plans of this ship to get a better understanding of its construction details etc. Cheers, Steve Young
