In Greek mythology Ganymede was a divine hero whose homeland was Troy. Homer describes Ganymede as the most beautiful of mortals. He was the son of Tros of Dardania, from whose name Troy was supposed to derive, and of Callirrhoe.
This ship was built by Doxford in Sunderland in 1868 for Jackson & Co. of Liverpool.
The ship was later sold to Thompson & Co of Liverpool and, in the 1880s, to H.C. Fletcher of Adelaide, Australia. About 1893 the ship was sold to Waterston of Invercargill for the New Zealand-Tasmania timber trade.
This ship became a hulk in 1912 and was eventually broken up in Nelson in 1934.
