Remarks:
O.N. 48652. The initial port of registry was London and the vessel was ordered by Walkers of London. Most sources state, or imply, that the Albion Shipping Company was the first owner but that is unproven.
She was built with iron ribs, wood planking to above waterline then iron topsides.
Originally a tea clipper, although she carried passengers on her maiden voyage 6 Dec 1863, then after 1871 entered the New Zealand emigrant trade.
Sailing from Glasgow for Port Chalmers on her twelfth voyage and carrying over two hundred passengers, she went ashore on North Rock, off Cloughey, County Down, 12 Jan 1883. Amazingly, no lives were lost. The master, Captain Kerr, had his certificate suspended for three months.
