Eureka Guernsey 1869

This image shows the brig EUREKA in Guernsey harbour just after being built in 1869.

She was built by De la Mare at the Piette and was lost off Dartmouth in 1870.

Conflicting information states she was 240 or 264 tons.

A good article on the demise of this ship can be seen on:-
http://www.marinearchaeology.org/Eureka.htm. Shown with the article are two paintings of the ship in rough waters prior to her breakup. At least one of the paintings are not entirely accurate as it does not show the stern design correctly.
