Re: Helena is the ELEANOR
She has given my some headaches not one vessel under the name HELENA I could find in my books on Australian and New Zealand ships around 1840.
Then I found that she was first identified as the ELEANOR and under that name I found her in my books, the first identification was the correct ships name and the HELENA is wrong, in 1840 not a HELENA arrived in Port Nicholson, New Zealand, but the ELEANOR was one of the ships that arrived there in that timeframe. Log Book gives that she sailed under command of Captain W.D. Rhodes and on that voyage Rhodes was the captain of the ELEANOR. See http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarl ... dy-d1.html
Details of ELEANOR.
She is given as a three masted wooden barque built in 1829 at Coringa, Coromandel for an owner or owners in Calcutta.
Launched as ELEANOR.
Tonnage 152 ton, dim. 75.0½ x 21.6 x 7.1ft.
One deck, square stern.
1839 Sold to James Holt (Cooper & Holt), registered in Sydney. Under command of Captain W.B, Rhodes she made a trading voyage from Sydney to Port Nicholson, New Zealand. One the stamp she is seen with the AURORA and CUBA on 22 January 1840. Depict on the stamp as a full rigger but she was barque rigged.
1846 Sold to Louis Nathan, registered in Hobart Town, Tasmania.
1853 Sold to Oscar F. Tondeur & Wm. Geo. Lempriere, registered in Hobart Town.
1857 Sold and transferred to Port Louis, Mauritius.
Fate unknown.
