heard from again. The ship had been built for Cunard in 1861 as a single screw passenger ship named China,
she was sold in 1880 to a Spanish company and renamed Magallanes and in 1889 her engines were removed
and she wes converted in to a barque, at some point the ship was renamed Theodor. One hundred and one
