Orus (1842 ship)

The Orus was a three-masted sailing ship built in 1842. Historical records indicate she was primarily used for trade and passenger transport, typically operating on routes between Europe and various destinations in the Americas, including the United States and South America. Details regarding the ship's specific construction, dimensions, and ownership are often fragmented across historical shipping registers, maritime archives, and newspaper accounts. Tracing the Orus's complete operational history can be challenging due to the incomplete nature of available records for vessels of that era. Sources may include Lloyd's Register, passenger lists, and records of cargo manifests.
