I hate to ruin your day, but if you look at 1993 large in-box catalogue
115585/115685 you'll find on page 17:
6271 Admiral Woodhouse's ship "Sea lion"
and in 1991 large in-box catalogue 830578/830678 Page 3:
6274 Governor's ship "Sea Hawk"
[The govenors name was Governor Broadside by the way :) ]
There was also (Page 2):
6245 Governor Broadside's boat :)
Hope this helps enlighten those Aussies who can't remember Australian Set
names. (SHAME)
[I'm still at work, but found a few reference catalogues I keep here and
checked the names :) I may even have spare copies if anyone is interested.
(These aren't Aus catalogues, they're european/asian region catalogues, but
the name is accurate [ish])]
