Tweed
Ship:
Captain: William Stewart
Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed London June 16th 1874 - arrived Otago
September 3rd 1874

Originally built as a paddle steamer (Punjab) for the East India Company, Tweed was purchased in 1863 by John Willis. Much admired by men of the sea she was built throughout of teak with fittings of Greenheart. To convert her to a sailing ship, she was cut in two and 90 feet was added to her length. A very fast sailer throughout her life, she made some blitzing runs to the colonies. This voyage (departed London 16th June 1874) was made in 79 days port-to-port and a voyage to Sydney in 1880 was made in 75 days. On July 18th 1888, while off Algoa Bay, Port Elizabeth, South Africa, she was dismasted and towed ashore where she was eventually broken up.

This passenger list was kindly given to us by Lorrain Inns. Initially the names and ages are from the Otago Guardian of Sept 1st 1874 and have been verified against the original at Archives New Zealand, Wellington.

Ellen HARTSTONGE:
Ellen, known as little NELL, was from Cork in Ireland. She had two daughters; Mary (born 1876) and Ellen (born 1877). Her husbands name was Kieran Claffy (born 1828) from Rashinagh Townland, Offaly, Ireland. They were married, in what would appear an arranged marriage, on the 1st April 1875, (maybe she thought it was an april fools joke) without ever laying eyes on each other beforehand. Kieran was about 48 and Nell only about 19. Unfortunately Nell only lived till 18th october 1879 and is buried at Macraes Flat but her daughters went on to produce over a thousand descendants, of which I am one. If you have a connection with this family or would like to know more please
contact Sean O'Connell
