Photo, Fate?

[edit]
Reconstruction of the merchant ship Ceres in dry dock, Dieppe, France, ca. 1854-1855.

Which Ceres is shown in this picture? Could it be the ship in this article? (cf. other ships named Ceres)--Saippuakauppias 00:01, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]

The picture is of a merchantman being rebuilt in Dieppe in 1854. As all the merchantmen Ceres for which we have articles had been broken up before 1820, and were English, it would be extremely improbable that the photo referred to any of them. Acad Ronin (talk) 01:08, 20 February 2019 (UTC)[reply]
