A wooden hulled brigantine, sometimes referred to as a schooner, of 106 tons om 96 tons nm, she made her first appearance in South Austalian waters in July 1837 and her last in October of 1840. During her time in these waters she made various trips to the other colonies carrying cargo and the odd few passengers.

Other Abeona's
I have two other listings for an Abeona:-
a schooner of 44 tons which was built in Mangawai, New Zealand in 1862. This ship, under Captain B.E. King, was lost a sea with all hands on 7 March 1865.
a schooner of 99 tons under a Captain Wishart which ran aground on entering the Wanganui River, again in New Zealand, on 12 May 1865. I don't know if this one is the same as the one visiting Adelaide, the dimensions are pretty close.
