Withdrawal from Nicaraguan Service

When: 1856
Where: Nicaragua
Part of: SS Pacific lost after leaving Liverpool

SS Pacific was withdrawn from Nicaraguan service in early 1856, contradicting the legacy row's claim of a loss from Liverpool.

Pacific continued to sail into the confusing situation caused by the Nicaraguan civil war until at least August 1855. She was withdrawn from this service in early 1856. The sources do not support a departure from Liverpool or a loss in January 1856.
