This is a tough one! I found the following on google:

Scroll down to article number 164 to read the listing for the schooner Marie Christine. The other articles on this link do pertain to 19th century Quebec province as Gaspe and Quebec are mentioned frequently. No way to tell if this is the ship GL wrote about. Anyone else turn up anything more concrete?
best regards,
