	hi there, Trying to find a little bit more information on a Brig called the Hyperion, she was a big ship and sometime in the 1800s. Don't know where to start looking. Don't think she was merchant, or at least may have been at some point, but then ended up around the North sea. thanks again.

	Google Brig Hyperion - several hits; looks like she was a slaver.
