The Bremen Bark CORIOLAN is a single vessel and was built at Kennebunk,
Maine, in 1850. She must have been purchased by Bremen interests either on
the stocks or shortly after
launching, as she first arrived at New York from Bremen in late September 1850.
The CORIOLAN was owned from at least 1865 by the Bremen firm of F.Reck & Co.
She was still in service in 1885, the oldest "Downeaster" in the
Bremen merchant fleet. The CORIOLAN first appears in _Lloyd's Register_
for 1876/77 (the first year that non-British ocean-going vessels not surveyed
and classed by Lloyds Register of Shipping are included): 966 tons;
162 x 33 x 22 ft (length x beam x depth of hold);
International Signal Code QCDG.
