Lot Essay

The brig Hawkhill was built for Roy & Co. at Bo'ness, Scotland, in 1842. Registered at 162 tons, her home port was Kincardine, on the Firth of Forth, and she traded out of Liverpool to Naples and the Mediterranean ports for about five years before turning to other routes including Odessa and Trinidad.
