The vessel is first listed in Lloyd's Register for 1850/51 as the British *ship* (while both a ship and a bark are 3-masted sailing vessels, they differ in that all of a ship's masts are square rigged, while on a bark only the fore and main masts are square-rigged, the mizzen mast being rigged fore-and-aft) EL DORADO, 913/977 tons (old/new measurement), built at St. Andrews in 1848; Lloyd's Register for 1850/51 gives the following additional information on this vessel: Master: Morrison.
