Answer 1

I haven't exhausted all possible sources, but there's not a photo in any of the usual places. But I did find a description of it for you and know that at the time of her arrival, the ship was owned by the London & New York SS Line.

CELLA / SHARKI 1863

The CELLA was a 2,058 gross ton ship, length 297.4ft x beam 34.4ft, clipper stem, one funnel, three masts (rigged for sail), iron hull, single s***w and a speed of 10 knots. There was accommodation for 16-1st, 50-2nd and 500-3rd class passengers. Built by Neptune Iron Works, Waterford (engines by Smith & Rodger, Glasgow), she was launched for the British owned London & New York Steamship Line in 1863. Her maiden voyage started on 8th Jul.1863 when she sailed from Liverpool for Queenstown (Cobh) and New York. On 1st Sep.1863 she started her first London - Havre - New York voyage and started her last sailing on this service on 5th Dec.1869. Sold to the Hughes Line of Liverpool in 1870 and used on the Liverpool - Suez - Bombay route. In 1881 she was chartered to Cie Bordelaise in Feb.1881 and made two Bordeaux - New York sailings. In 1887 she was sold to Turkish owners and renamed SHARKI. No longer listed in 1891. [North Atlantic Seaway by N.R.P.Bonsor, vol.2,p.597]

ETA: Ok, I went through every site from Ellis Island and Mystic Historical to the Steamship Historical Society and Lloyd's of London and the National Maritime Museum. None of them has an image.

The only site where I found anyone who claims to have information charges  Ã‚£8 ($US15)  for more information. I don't know if he has anything more than the description I found above at the Ship's Transcriber's Guild, but it might be worth a shot. http://freespace.virgin.net/donald.hazel...
