Owners: Fisher and Sprott, registered Liverpool. By the mid 1880s had been rigged down to a barque, and by 1910 had been sold to Norwegians who retained the same name. Although said to have been employed regularly in the Australian trade for many years apart from three trips to New Zealand (in 1883, 1885, and 1887 each time under charter to the New Zealand Shipping Company), information of her activities in Australia has proved difficult to locate.

(In which he draws a wrong conclusion, saying that her lengthy trips were a result of being rigged as a barque, against similar ships being rigged as a ship. The longest elapsed time for the trip was when she was rigged as a ship, her quicker times being after she was rigged down)].
