Euterpe
Ship: 1197 tons
Captain: Phillips
Surgeon Superintendent: Dr Summerhayes
Sailed London December 7th 1872 - arrived Otago April 4th 1873
In the early 'sixties there were two
ships sailing the seas bearing the name of Euterpe. The one which traded to New Zealand
was a full-rugged ship of 1197 tons built at Ramsay bay, Isle of Man, in 1863, by Gibson,
and later purchased by Shaw, Savill Co. In 1873 the Euterpe made her first voyage to New
Zealand, arriving at Dunedin after a lengthy passage of 117 days.She was one of the
slowest boats afloat, her best run out at any time from 1873 till 1898, twenty five years,
being 103 days to Dunedin under very favourable conditions. Euterpe made 18 voyages to New
Zealand.
