The Jura.

In command of Captain Chambers, the Jura, a fine ship of 792 tons, made three voyages to the Dominion. In 1858 she brought out 375 passengers from Scotland, and arrived at Port Chalmers on the 23rd September, having made the passage in 92 days from Glasgow.

The following year, 1859, the ship sailed from Deal on October 3rd, and Start Point on the 6th. She arrived at Auckland on thepage 157 16th January, 1860, after a pleasant passage of 104 days, landing 87 passengers—72 English, 13 Scotch, and 2 Irish.

In 1862 the Jura made another voyage to Otago with 284 Scotch immigrants. She sailed from Lamlash Bay on the 30th June, arriving at Port Chalmers on the 6th October, 98 days port to port.

This vessel must not be confused with the fine iron ship of 1,200 tons built by Connel at Glasgow in 1875, which did not trade to New Zealand.

Several of the Jura's passengers who arrived in 1860 were Mr. Sidwell, of Silverdale, and his sister at Hamilton; Mrs. Shirley, of Hamilton, and Mr. F. Reed, of Auckland; also Mr. Maxwell and several members of his family, residing at Northcote.
