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

Scottish Lassie

Scottish Lassie.

The fine iron barque Scottish Lassie, 852 tons, chartered by the New Zealand Shipping Co., arrived in Auckland on August 19, 1880, 94 days from the Start, or 96 from the Docks. She brought 35 passengers. The passage was remarkable for the fine weather experienced. Up to the time she crossed the Line, 28 days out from port, not a sail had been furled. It was not until the end of June that the ship experienced her first gale, her best day's work then being logged, namely, 257 miles. The meridan of the Cape was crossed on July 10, and land near Cape Maria Van Diemen sighted on August 17. the Scottish Lassie was commanded by Captain Le Couteur.
