White Wings Vol I. Fifty Years Of Sail In The New Zealand Trade, 1850 TO 1900

The Camperdown

The Camperdown.

the Camperdown, a fine modern ship of 1487 tons, built by Stephens, of Glasgow, in 1874, made one voyage only to New Zealand under charter to the Shaw, Savill and Albion Co. She sailed from London with 400 immigrants, and experienced an uneventful passage to Nelson, arriving there on July 4, 1876, after a splendid run of 80 days. She landed 233 of the immigrants for Nelson and Marlborough, and then sailed for Wellington, arriving at that port on July 9, where she disembarked the remainder of the passengers. Captain Paton was in command of the ship.
