Queen Of The West.

the Queen of the West was a small barque of 438 tons, built by Pile at Sunderland in 1867, and originally owned by W. Price, of London. She was chartered ten years later, and made two voyages to New Zealand. Her first trip was to Wellington, commanded by Captain T. Dalrymple. She left London on February 23. Nothing eventful occurred on the run out, and after a passage of 119 days she arrived on June 13, 1877.

The following year, 1878, the barque sailed from London for Auckland, and arrived on July 9, 119 days from Gravesend.
