Bark "Cybele", master Charles Heckler circa.1835

I am researching my family history and have a Charles Heckler (1777) and his son Charles (1807) who were both Master Mariners. I have a report that Charles Heckler was the Master of the British Bark "Cybele" which is described as a double bottomed ship. On the 26th. March 1832 he sailed from Bridgwater to Quebec and again on the 14th April 1835 from Gloucester arriving in Quebec on the 27^th May with 6 settlers and general cargo.

I would like to know more about the ship, if there are any photographs or prints also where built, where registered and any other voyages made. I would of course also like to find anything else about either Charles Heckler.

I wonder if any of your members or readers would have any information that would be of assistance to me? Please contact me at 23 Glen Road, West Cross, SwanseaSA3 5PR.
