Captain Easton, Master of the 'Elizabeth Cohen'
Thence by descent
This plate is from the schooner 'Wanderer', wrecked whilst attempting to enter Port Macquarie after suffering damage during a severe gale in November 1851.
The Wanderer, owned by Scotsman Ben Boyd, was previously a unit of the Royal Yacht Squadron and its fine appointment and luxurious fittings were enjoyed by members of the British Royal family before the yacht sailed to Australia in 1842.
The wreck was witnessed by Captain Easton, Master of the Elizabeth Cohen schooner, who had attempted along with his crew to assist the disabled vessel.
