Re: [TSL] Oneco

Hi Frank,

I wonder if this might be your ONECO mentioned in 1850 as an "American 
ship, 654 tons."   Below I've included the 1853 arrival notice which 
mentions 640 tons, ... other April mentions of that vessel still in 
Hobson's Bay all mention she was a "ship," so I feel fairly confident that 
yours was an American ship.

  SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE.  The Sydney Morning Herald Thursday 28 November 1850

November 27.- Oneco, American ship, 654 tons, Captain Drew, from San 
Francisco the 29th September, in ballast. Passengers._  Alexander Elliott,
