Summary

The iron ship 'Combermere', 1727 tons, at Port Chalmers, New Zealand. [iron ship, 1727 tons, ON84113, 251.3 x 39.0 x 24.0. Built 1881 (5). Richardson, Duck and Co. Stockton. Owners CW Kellock and Co. Registered Liverpool, later J Edgar and Co. registered Liverpool, passed to Italian owners in first decade 20th century without change of name.] [Note from R Parsons - Although included in the Mere Line I find no evidence of ever having been owned or chartered by that firm. Presumably in error due to the similarity of nomenclature] Various fleeting references to this vessel in both volumes of The Last of the Windjammers by Lubbock. However nothing of particular interest.
