The iron ship 'Lammermuir', 1054 tons, moored in an unidentified port [iron ship, 1054 gross tons. ON50192, 200.4 x 35.5 x 20.9. Built 1864 (11) West Hartlepool. Owners: J Willis and Son, registered London. Posted missing on a voyage from Port Adelaide to London in 1876. (NB - there were two vessels of this name owned by Willis - Lubbock confuses them and apparently only believed there was one - note by Ron Parsons) In connection with this ship there is the oft told tale about the carpenter's box and 'Lammermuir' being overtaken by 'Orient' to deliver it - see Lubbock's 'Colonial Clippers'. An account of part of her maiden voyage in 'Sea Breezes' Vol. XVII (new series) pg. 408. (Jan. Jun. 1954) 'Colonial Clippers', 'China Clippers' and 'Log of the Cutty Sark'].
