Wrecked in Ramsey Sound on voyage from Clonakilty to Bristol, 5 February 1840. Her crew were rescued (List of Shipwrecks - Wiki). Listed as one of several Clonakilty-built Murray ships in the nineteenth century. Captain T Murray belongs to an earlier generation of Clonakilty mariners of whom I have little information. The next generation included Captains Thomas Murray (b.1828 Clonakilty), Timothy Murray (b.1830, Clonakilty) and Denis Murray (b.1831, Clonakilty).

Apprentice Maurice Neill would first captain Ocean of Cork 1845-6 and obtain his Master Certificate in 1850.
