The ship SIR ROBERT PEEL was built in Lubeck* by Hans Jacob Albrecht Meyer, for the Hamburg shipowner Robert M. Sloman, in 1852. 250 Commerzlasten; 140,6 x 31,3 x 20,6 Hamburg Fuße (1 Hamburg Fuß = .28657 meter), length x beam x depth of hold, zwischen den Steven. The Sir Robert Peel served almost exclusively as a regular trader between Hamburg and New York, although she did make voyages to New Orleans in 1852 and 1854, to San Jose (Guatemala) in 1855, to Sunderland (England) in 1861, and to London in 1862. She was lost in the North Sea, near the island of Juist, on 24 November 1863.
