Empress
Ship: 1313 tons
Captain: Ellis
Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed London February 3rd 1865 - arrived Auckland May 14th 1865
The Empress, a beautiful ship of 1313
tons, of the Houlder Brothers Line, made three successful voyages to Auckland. On her
first appearance there (1863) she sailed up Rangitoto Channel with a fresh
north-east wind, on a dark night, and came to an anchor off the Queen Street wharf without
a Pilot. The Empress came to Auckland again in 1865 under the same commander, making the
run from the docks, which were left on February 3, in the good time of 98 days, not
withstanding she was becalmed for 12 days between 15 deg. and 20 deg. south of the
Equator. The vessel arrived on May 14th.
