I am a research officer at the Scottish Maritime Museum, and I am trying to find out the history, i.e. name of builder, year built, and any previous names, of the schooner Black Swan, which Francesco Da Mosta is using ine his programme, "Francesco's Voyages"

Your best bet is to write to the programme makers.

I too am intrigued by the history. I have just read that The Italian Shipowners Association represents more than nine tenths of the Italian merchant fleet. Its members include shipping companies and shipowners’ groups and maybe they be able to help you Mike - [url=http://www.confitarma.it/home.php?idpage=AAAAAAAA]Confitarma - Confederazione Italiana Armatori[/url]

Also I have just found this article in The Scotsman on the series.
