The Hannah Nicholson was a barque built by Lumley Kennedy & Co. at Whitehaven, launched in 1858.
From 1873 the vessel was registered at Adelaide, owned by J.Bickers.
Source 3 reports that in 1873 the Hannah Nicholson left Port
Louis (Mauritius) bound for Melbourne with a cargo of sugar. On arrival
at Portland the master was dead. He had fired shots at the crew and had
gone mad, eventually locking himself in his cabin, where his dead body
was found with a note stating that he had been murdered by the crew.
