Captain: Cow
Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed London 2nd November 1866 - arrived Lyttelton 10th February 1867
Although a fine large ship of over
1000 tons, the Himalaya made only average passages, but on one occasion she ran from the
Lizard to the Snares in 78 days, She made twenty-four voyages to the colony, and brought
out many thousand passengers. She was built in 1863, and about 1865 was purchased by the
Shaw Savill Co. In 1896 she was sold to the Alaska Packers Co. and renamed the Star of
Peru. In 1880 her rig was changed from a ship to a barque. NB A
small barque named Himalya, a vessel of 477 tons, arrived at New Plymouth, and then
proceeded to Nelson, arriving there on January 10th, 1844 under the command of Captain
Burns.
