History of the ship: In 1878, an iron ship was commissioned in Liverpool bearing the name Edderside by the Whitehaven Ship Building Company. She had her maiden voyage from Liverpool that year, arriving in Sydney in June 1879. In 1895 she was converted to a barque rig, and sold to new owners based in Norway in 1903. She sank off the coast of South Africa in 1919, having left the port of Durban bound for Buenos Aires with a cargo of coal, but collided with another vessel in dense fog. All seven hands were lost.

Charles Lane: According to the National Archives he was born in 1839 in Surrey. He had previously been with the Ellerbank of Liverpool (https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C11738536)
