London
Ship: 700 tons
Captain: Henry Shuttleworth
Surgeon Superintendent: Ralph Johnston
Sailed London August 13th 1840 - arrived Wellington December 12th 1840
When the ship London, 700 tons,
Captain Henry Shuttleworth, arrived at Wellington, on December 12, 1840, she was the
largest vessel that had up to that time entered the port, or probably that had visited New
Zealand. She took 121 days over the voyage, having sailed from Gravesend on August 13th,
1840. Among her passengers, who numbered 228, were Mr F A Carrington, chief surveyor of
the Plymouth Company; Mr J T Wicksteed, who afterwards became a leading resident at
Wanganui; and Mr A de Bathe Brandon, who was so well known in Wellington for many years.
Although the Plymouth Company was a separate company, with its own officers, it was really
an offshoot of the New Zealand Company, and, as a matter of fact, acquired land from the
latter, or rather acquired such title as the Company possessed. Eventually the two
companies amalgamated. This fine frigate-built ship had been turned out from the dockyards
for the conveyance of passengers to and from Calcutta.
