Comment

This is the ship that my great great grandparents and their three children came on, departing from London on 20 February 1840, and arriving at Hobart on 20 June1840. Their names were Rev. Thomas Spurr, Mrs Elizabeth Spurr, Miss Edith Spurr (age 7), Miss Miriam Spurr (age 5), and her twin Master Rosney Spurr (age 5). Rosney was my great grandfather. I have the ship passenger list. But I would love a photograph of the ship. Does anyone have one please?
