James Nicol Fleming
Ship: 1000 tons
Captain: Logan
Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed Glasgow 17th April 1873 - arrived Dunedin 1st July 1873
Built in 1869, the James Nicol Fleming
was a composite clipper of close on 1000 tons and was a sister ship to the Otago, built on
exactly the same lines. She was an exceedingly fast ship and only twicen her career took
more than the average 90 days for the passage from Glasgow to Otago. In 1879, owing to
financial problems at the City of Glasgow Bank (which also involved one of the directors
after who she was named), her name was changed to Napier.
