General notes

Additional information on the ships in this collection is available through the work of Ron Parsons, who researched and created 'expanded captions' on the majority of the ships. These are filed alphabetically by name of ship and housed adjacent to the collection. Approximately 30% of the collection has been digitised and is available on-line and the remainder will be added over time. To view the on-line records do an archival number search on PRG 1373.

PRG 1373/1/41: The four masted iron barque (ex ship) 'Fort George', 1756 tons, at San Francisco. This vessel retains the bowsprit and jib-boom, and was built with masts of conventional design--each except the jigger-mast in three sections. After a serious dismasting late in her career, she was remasted with pole-type lower masts which appear as an anachronism. [iron 4 mast ship (later barque) 1756 tons, ON87748, 260.0 x 40.0 x 23.1.

(The shipbuilders went bankrupt in the course of constructing the ship and it was completed by Denny Bros) Sold 1895 to Portuguese and renamed Ferreira. Bought in 1922 by Captain Dowman of Falmouth, named and restored and re-rigged to her original sail plan. Presented to the Thames Nautical Training College in 1938. Subsequently installed in a dry dock at Greenwich on permanent display. This vessel has probably had more written about her than any other sailing ship, including 'The Log of the Cutty Sark' by Lubbock, see for full details up to 1938. The name is taken from a poem by Burns - Tam O'Shanter and the best translation appears to be 'short chemise'. Built for the China trades and considered to be among the world's fastest sailing ships. she was transferred to the Australian trades in 1885-6, trading mainly to Sydney, until she made a few voyages to Brisbane in the 1890's prior to being withdrawn and sold foreign. See 'The Log of the cutty Sark', 'Colonial Clippers', 'China Clippers'].

McGregor, registered Hobart, and later AE Risby of Hobart. About the turn of the century sold to Scandinavia and drops from the register c.1909. Lubbock claims the vessel was built as a China Clipper but was too late for the trade. She spent most of her life in the England-Australia trade, and when enrolled at Hobart was a regular trader to England].
PRG 1373/1/48: The composite ship 'Inverness', 725 tons, moored at Gravesend, U.K. A beautiful example of a composite built ship with main skysail [composite ship, 744 tons, ON63519, 177.6 x 32.0 x 18.9.

Sold out of the service in 1928, it was reported she was to be broken up, but in 1934 she was reported to be in use as a 'rest home for out of work boys'. In 1937 sold for conversion to a museum but the buyer went bankrupt and the vessel passed to Mr. W Ford, Berry's Bay, North Sydney and was finally demolished in WW2. There seems to be no foundation for the story that the vessel was laid down as a auxiliary steamer for the Black Ball Line. Even before she was purchased by Devitt and Moore whenever she loaded on the Australian berth she was under charter to that firm. Her first owners were in the China tea trade. claimed to have been the largest composite ship built. The ship was named after a decisive battle in the Sutlij war of 1846. Accommodation was for 90 first and 40 second class passengers. Her first trip to Australia was in 1866 when she made the trip to Sydney in 75 days.

There is an abstract of her homeward log in 1883 in 'Blackwall Frigates'. In 'Colonial Clippers' there is a mention of her appearance in the Australian Wool Trade in various years, without much detail and 'Blackwall Frigates' gives some additional, sketchy information.]

(not connected with Anderson, Anderson and Co) registered Aberdeen. Throughout her life associated with the Australian trade. Under the Orient flag the Darra was more familiar with the eastern coast of Australia, while under the Trinder Anderson flag she was more prone to visit the western shores. The vessel was hulked in New Zealand, having been sold to Australian owners in 1888, and the Westport Coal Company in 1899, and very likely hulked about the same time, if not earlier].

A regular trader to New Zealand, operating under charter to the Shaw Savill organisation and usually thought of as one of their ships although always registered in the name of John Leslie apart from a year of two when it was in the name of James Galbraith, the senior partner of the Albion Line. Her last voyage to New Zealand appears to have been made in late 1899. Her usual port was Dunedin, although she made one visit to Wellington, Lyttelton and Timaru.

Missing - sailed from Lyttelton January 11, 1890 with cargo and one passenger, was spoken two days later and was never seen again. Another regular trader to New Zealand, ususally operating under charter to Shaw, Savill, which has led to statements being made that they owned the ship. She made 14 voyages to New Zealand visiting Wellington, Lyttelton, Dunedin and Bluff, but her greatest claim to fame is the mystery of her loss which has been subject to all sorts of solutions but nothing conclusive has ever been established. Magazine items; shipwreck books, and other publications continue to produce solutions to the mystery. See 'White Wings' Vol. 1 - apart from list of trips also gives a solution to the mystery. 'New Zealand Ships' p.241 for loss - with another solution to mystery. 'Colonial Clippers' which gives the wrong date for loss.

Owners Thomas Stephens and Sons, registered London. Made one trip to New Zealand in 1873 with 276 passengers. See 'White wings' in Vol. 1]. A researcher believes the location is not Gravesend as originally documented, but more likely Port Chalmers, New Zealand. The 'Allahabad' disappeared without trace on a voyage to Dunedin carrying a cargo of coal from Glascow. An enquiry was held and one of the assessors in the enquiry was Capt.

Subsequently installed in a dry dock at Greenwich on permanent display. This vessel has probably had more written about her than any other sailing ship, including 'The Log of the Cutty Sark' by Lubbock, see for full details up to 1938. The name is taken from a poem by Burns - Tam O'Shanter and the best translation appears to be 'short chemise'. Built for the China trades and considered to be among the world's fastest sailing ships. she was transferred to the Australian trades in 1885-6, trading mainly to Sydney, until she made a few voyages to Brisbane in the 1890's prior to being withdrawn and sold foreign.

PRG 1373/39/32: Shipping, Port Pirie about 1905. Information from a researcher: "I believe the ship next the wharf and bow on is the Glasgow four-masted barque 'Earl of Dunmore' built on the Clyde 1891. The reason I believe this may be the Earl of Dunmore is she had a scroll, or fiddle bow, at the fore-stem rather than the more usual figure-head, this scroll was painted dark colour probably brown, whereas the usual figure heads were usually white, her rig was of double topsails and single t'gallants as the ship in the photo, and had the same arrangement of painted ports, and single hawse-pipe hole each side, (some ships had two each side). Earl of Dunmore was in Port Pirie at least twice, in 1894 and 1897. Another characteristic the Earl of Dunmore had was, she had no chart house on the poop aft, that detail is not visible in this photo.
