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

The Record From Newcastle

The Record From Newcastle.

None of these passages are, however, the record from Australia. The barque Adela, Captain Le Brien, sailed from Newcastle with a cargo of 400 tons coal at 4 p.m. on the 30th July, 1876, and passed the Three Kings on the 3rd of August. The same evening she was off the Bay of Islands, exactly four days from Newcastle. She anchored at Auckland on the following day, having made the run in five days. Captain Le Brien reported strong favourable winds throughout the passage to Tiri Tiri island.
