The Taunton.

This vessel, a ship of 687 tons, chartered by the Shaw, Savill Co., made two voyages only to New Zealand—the first under Captain Cochrane and the second under Captain Clark. She arrived at Lyttelton on September 2, 1874, making the passage in 117 days.

In 1875 she sailed from Gravesend on July 2 with passengers and cargo, and arrived at Port Chalmers on October 6, making the voyage in 96 days port to port.
