Ulcoats
Barque: 671 tons
Captain: Chambers
Sailed London 29th September 1863 - arrived Auckland 26th January 1864
The Ulcoats, one of the White Star
ships, was an iron barque of 671 tons, built at Liverpool in 1863. She made her maiden
trip to Auckland, leaving London on September 29, 1863, with 137 passengers, and arriving
at Auckland on January 22, 1864, making the passage in 115 days, a very good run for a
vessel of her size. Captain Chambers, who was in command, reported that owing to very
adverse weather in the Channel, where she was detained eight days, and subsequent light
winds, the vessel was thirty days fetching Madeira. She experienced good north-east and
south-east trade winds, and on December 10 passed the meridian of the Cape, running down
her longitude in the parallel of 46deg south, with strong winds and fine weather with the
exception that on December22 she encountered a cyclone, in which fore and main topsails
and lifeboat were lost. Cape Maria Van Dieman was sighted on january 10; thence the barque
was baffled on the coast with light airs and calms, the vessel taking another 12 days to
reach Auckland. Among the passengers by the Ulcoats on this voyage were Mr Wesley Spragg
and others who have made good citizens. The Ulcoats, after discharging, sailed for Port
Chalmers, arriving there on march 13, 1864. She landed 54 passengers for Dunedin, and then
loaded at that port for London.
