Re: steamer FRANCOLI

We're slowly updating the files on ships sunk, damaged, or taken in as a prize. I've worked through lists of steamer of 300+ grt built from 1874 on and FRANCOLI isn't in any of them. So it would seem that the FRANCOLI was a very old vessel indeed, especially for a steamer. Miramar lists a ship for Spanish owners named FRANCOLI as being built in 1865, which would be a possibility.

In any case, she was on a voyage from Alicanto for Sfax with a cargo of sulphur when stopped and sunk.

Best wishes,
Michael
