British transport Jura send to the Crimea according to the Dutch newspaper Zierikzeesche Courant dated 22 December 1855

An item reported that the British cabinet still was sending detachments to the army in the Crimea.(1) The transport Jura was to depart a week later with again 250 carpenters, butchers, bakers, masons and so on.

Note
1. The Crimean war also known as the Russian or Eastern War between October 1853 and February 1856 was a war between the Russian Empire against the French, British and Ottoman Empires and the Kingdom on Sardinia. On 30 November 1853 was at Sinop a complete Ottoman squadron destroyed by the Russians. There is a possibility that she wasn't a British ship but instead a French navy transport as Stephen  Roberts pointed out to me.
