Halcione1872

Halcione
Ship: 857 tons
Captain: Thomas Bishop
Surgeon Superintendent: Dr Popham
Sailed London May 1st 1872 - arrived Wellington July 27th 1872

The Halcione, one of the first iron full-rigged ships built for the Shaw Savill Company, in 1869, completed twenty- six voyages to Auckland, Wellington, Lyttelton, Nelson, Bluff, and Napier; and after making a good run of 89 days to Wellington Heads, on her eighteenth passage out, was totally wrecked. The Halcione was never a flyer, but she made more than average runs. In 1886 she made the Bluff in 87 days, under Captain Parker. She also ran to Wellington, under Captain Bishop on three occasions in 87 days. The ship was built specially for the New Zealand trade by Steele, of Greenock, her tonnage being 843. In 1888 the vessel's rig was changed to that of a barque.
