The WolframAlpha Search Engine
The WolframAlpha Search engine tells me that on July 8th 1854 the night of Elizabeth Jane's loss, the moon was 'waxing gibbous'( 92.36% illuminated) and that there were nearly 17 hours of daylight on that day.
In 2003, in a house at Robin Hood's Bay, two oak timbers were discovered, one carved with 'Elizabeth Jan' and the other 'Ipswich'. These were later found to be the Name board and the Registration board of the Ipswich-based brig the Elizabeth Jane. She was built in Nova Scotia in 1817 and was 'lost off the coast of Yorkshire' in 1854.
