Jessie Readman
Ship: 962 tons
Captain: Mitchell
Sailed from Greenock 28th Aug 1873 - arrived Otago 1st December 1873
The Jessie Readman, a sister shipto
the Christian McCausland, would have completed her twenty-third voyage out and home but
for the disaster which befell her in 1893, when homeward bound from New Zealand. The
Jessie Readman was an iron ship of 962 tons, built by Scott, of Greenock, for Patrick
Henderson, and later sailed under the Shaw Savill flag. She was a speedy and comfortable
ship, and brought many thousands of immigrants to the Dominion. In 1893, while on her
homeward journey after loading wool at Dunedin and Napier she ran aground and was lost on
the Chatham Islands.
