I love a ship with a good story to it and this one certainly is. There is no kit currently available as far as I'm aware and as she was a fairly small Brig then this could be done on a 1/48 or 1/64 scale.
She was found drifting off Gibraltar in Dec 1872 after a voyage from New York to Genoa, the vessel was deserted and no crew were found even though she was found to be fully seaworthy - there was a lifeboat missing but all the crews belongings were left on board except the sextant and chronometer.
