The 66 ton schooner Daphne made multiple voyages between the Australian colonies in the 19th century
It appears numerous vessels of this name plied their trade between the various Australian Colonies ports in the mid 19th century.
This Daphne is possibly the same schooner built in 1849 in India ordered by Governor Robe of South Australia without authority and refused on arrival in South Australia. [1]
