Summary

The "Harbinger" was an iron ship built at Greenock in 1876. Visited South Australia in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Sold to Russian owners in 1897. Said to have been the last sailing ship to carry passengers in the Australian trades, and constructed especially to try and outdo the "Torrens". Did not remain long in the South Australian trade, but became very popular in the Melbourne run
