I have been searching for pictures of the S/S Oder built by C & W Earle, Hull in 1861 for the Wilson Line of Hull. Launched in June 1861, she was a 694 gross ton ship, length 200 feet x beam 27,5 feet. She was an iron construction with a clipper stem. There was a single screw and masts rigged for sail. The other ship i`m looking for is the bark "Martha", which was built in 1853 at Searsport, Maine, by Wm. Mcgilvery & Benj. Colcord (Marshall Dutch) as the "Fanny Buck". She was later bought by Ludvigsen & Schjeldrup and others in Christiania, Norway. The Martha had a tonnage of 546 tons gross, her length was 130,7 feet x beam 28,4 feet, her depth was 17,8 feet. The ship was sold to Finish owners and renamed "Onni" in 1904. In 1867 the Martha departed from Christiania on May 1st, and arrived at Quebec on June 17th. She was mastered by Capt. L. Thorsen. Passenger agent was Plesner & Bruun. It`s critical that i find picture(s) of either one of them, so any help is appreciated. Cheers :O)
