This fine vessel, prior to the amalgamation with the Shaw Savill Co., was owned by the Albion Co. She was a typical emigrant ship of 1085 tons register, and was built specifically to carry passengers from the Clyde to Dunedin. The accomodation was in the 'tween decks, the space being divided into three by bulkheads, single women being in the after compartment, married amidships, and single men in the forward compartment.
The City of Dunedin completed ten voyages to Port Chalmers, direct from Scotland.
