Do you mean the Cambria?
This is from The Shipslist http://www.theshipslist.com/ships/descriptions/ShipsC.htm
"Cambria 1869 Built by R. Duncan & Co., Port Glasgow, she was launched for the Anchor Line on 1st Mar.1869 and sailed on her maiden voyage Glasgow - Moville - New York on 8th May 1869. On 19th Oct.1870 she was wrecked on Inishtrahull Island on her 12th homeward voyage with the loss of 196 lives. [North Atlantic Seaway, vol.1,p.454 by N.R.P.Bonsor]"

There is a passenger list for the September 30 1870 voyage at the ISTG
