So few info about this steamer. She was listed as having a certificate dated 15 Aug 1846 (doubtful). She was built for Elbe-Humber D.G., Hamburg, Germany. Tonnage; 263, lenght; 45,47 m, beam; 7 m, draft; 3,6 m. Single screw.

She was rebuilt in 1852. On 24 Jul 1858, she was sold to H.J.Perlbach & Co., Hamburg, Germany.

She grounded on the Dutch coasts in Mar 1864 and was lost.

The stamp desing is based on an 1859 painting by Lorenz Peterson.

Paraguay 1984, S.G.?, Scott: 2122c.
