unidentified port(1), was built 1869 by T. Royden and Sons,
Liverpool. she was built as an auxiliary screw steamship but her
engine was removed after a short time.
Owned by W & R Wright,
she was registered in Liverpool and visited New Zealand occasionally
under charter to Shaw Savill and/or New Zealand Shipping.
The DOUGLAS departed London on 2 July, 1874 and arrived in
Wellington on 22 October, 1874. Captain Wilson was in command.
Note:
1. Probably a UK port - the two iron paddle tugs visible
are Cambria and Punch.
2. There was also a barque named Douglas of 380 tons, built 1862
