THERE WAS A QUEEN OF THE SOUTH THAT WAS CHARTERED BY THE WHITE STAR LINE SAILED FOR AUSTRALIA ON 20TH MAY 1863 ( THIS INFORMATION IS 100% ACCURATE ) *
NOT MUCH IS REALLY KNOWN REGARDING THE WHITE STAR SHIP QUEEN OF THE SOUTH OTHER THAN SHE MUST HAVE BEEN A CHARTERED VESSEL. ITS COMPOUNDED BY THE FACT THAT THERE WERE AT LEAST TWO 'QUEEN OF THE SOUTH' VESSELS OPERATING AT THE SAME TIME.
OTHER INFORMATION
1. 1879 QUEEN OF THE SOUTH WRECKED ON 27TH FEBRUARY, STRANDED CAUSED BECAUSE HER ANCHORS DRAGGED. ( THE VESSEL J W WENDT WAS ALSO WRECKED IN 1879 ) i THINK THERES CONFUSION OF INFORMATION BECAUSE SO VESSELS ARE BEARING THE SAME NAME)
2. QUEEN OF THE SOUTH WAS AN IRON BARQUE OF 376 TONS BUILT IN SUNDERLAND IN 1864 BY PILE'S.IN 1876/1877 SHE WAS DOING VOYAGES AROUND COAST OF NEW ZEALAND.
