Is it reasonably well written?

I've scanned through google books for contemporary accounts, but nothing turned up. I'll ask Ed about the NYT, he has more experience with their archives. BB-PB (talk) 21:05, 19 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Ed pointed me in the right direction, but unfortunately, the NYT didn't have anything either (plenty on a steamship named Hansa in operation in the 1860s, and some on Hansa, which will be useful when I get around to the latter). Parsecboy (talk) 01:02, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Conway's says guardship after a short period overseas. Not that that's much help.--Sturmvogel 66 (talk) 02:13, 21 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]
