The 'Nelson' in an unidentified port
The iron ship 'Nelson', 1310 tons, in an unidentified port [see other entry in this name. Some confusion exists but it is recommended to those interested that they compare the illustration of the New Zealand trader 'Nelson', correctly identified, that appears at page 105, v.1 in White Wings, ref. 7. If the ship depicted is of 1310 tons it was not owned by British Shipowners - the detail of the ship of this name owned by British Shipowners follows - be careful (note by Parsons) = iron ship, 1333 tons, ON44774, 214.4 x 36.2 x 22.9. Built 1862 (4) Laurence Hill and Co., Port Glasgow. Owners: Potter and Wilson, registered Glasgow: c.1864 British Shipowners Co. Ltd., registered Liverpool: c.1880 RW Leyland and Co., and drops from the registers in 1883 - either wrecked or broken up. Reportedly abandoned in a sinking condition off Schouwen, 25 Oct. 1895. Note: confusion of the above 'Nelson' with another built in 1874 - as does the Edwardes Collection. Very likely not the ship of this name but the vessel of the same name built in 1874 and sometimes owned by Shaw Savill].
