Alhambra (1855) Alhambra (1855) The Alhambra was an iron steamer screw built in 1853 by Samuda Brothers at Cubitt Town, London. It was wrecked in a collision off Newcastle, near Nobbys Head, New South Wales, on 30 June 1888. The "Alhambra" was named "Cintra" during its design. It was later renamed "Braganza", which was finally changed to its current name shortly before the ship was launched on 31 May 1855. The name is derived from Al-Hambra, the Red Palace, an ancient fortress of the Moorish monarchs of Granada in southern Spain. The "Alhambra" took its maiden voyage to Marseilles on 7 July
