Hi Susan. As of now I have not been able to find a picture of the Keppler Ship that was built in Hull, England in early 1863 for the Robert Miles Sloman shipping line of Hamburg, Germany. If your interested it was a sailing ship (Segelschiff in German) and you might be able to find similar looking ships 3 masted and square-rigged on the internet. Also if you look up the builder Martin Samuelson and Co., you will find some interesting background about him, if your interested. The ship only existed for less than three years so we may never find what it looked like. Best Bob
