The 'Beltana' on Fletcher's Slip

1871, Photograph, PRG 1373/2/19

The composite ship 'Beltana', 934 tons, on Fletcher's Slip. [Composite ship, 734 tons. ON60951 172.5 x 33.6 x 19.2. Built 1869 (4) J. Laing. Sunderland. Owners W Stevens registered London early 1870's to AL Elder and Co. Built for the South Australian trade, as her name implies, she was acquired by Elder in the first years of her life and gained some unwelcome publicity when her captain, Richard Angel, got her ashore on Kangaroo Island, 20 August 1871 on his way to load wool at Port Augusta. Having successfully refloated the vessel he did not report it. Having completed loading he set out for England, but commenced leaking so badly that he had to take the ship into Port Adelaide for repairs (photo shows her on the slip being repaired). As a result he was dismissed his ship. Ordered to load wool at Lyttelton, NZ in 1874 the ship caught fire and was badly burnt but was repaired and resumed trading. Colonial Clippers: 130 et. seq. SA Register 5 Dec 1871. Aust. Ency. 1926 (Wrecks, cas. etc)].
