The Bremen ship, later bark, JULIUS was built at Vegesack by Peter Sager, for the Bremen firm of Gebr[üder] Kuhlenkampff, and was launched on 4 July 1848. 333 Commerzlasten / 729 tons register; 43,5 x 10,1 x 6,5 meters (length x beam x depth of hold). She was captained, in turn, by Friedrich Wilhelm Warck, Johann Klockgeter, Johann Carl Meyer, and Johann Hinrich Rosenau.

In 1864, the JULIUS suffered severe damage and was condemned, but she was rebuilt and sold to N. J. Evenson, of Arendal, Norway, who renamed her ILOS, and used her primarily in the transport of wood. In 1895, she passed into the hands of A. Smith, also of Arendal. She was scrapped in 1904, after 56 years of service, a particularly long life for a wooden sailing vessel.
