Ship history

The ship was built by the Robert Duncan & Co. shipyard in Port Glasgow, and was launched on 30 June 1870.[1]

She sailed from New York City on 30 September 1873[2] carrying wheat and general cargo, with 52 people (44 crew and 8 passengers) aboard, en route for Glasgow.[1] She was seen on 2 October,[3] but then disappeared, and was never seen again.[1]

gollark: As well as actually working, maybe, and not allowing historical data to accumulate forever, it could monitor APIONET for functionality, and, using proven osmarksDNS™ technologies, offer a domain which returns a random IP selected from all operational APIONET servers.
gollark: I have a useful* idea: onstat™++™. The current status.osmarks.net is down. However, via "oracle cloud" I can get a free bad VPS (1/4 of a core allocated and 1GB of RAM, or something) which should be sufficient to run a shinier version.
