ANNE LONGTON

A VESSEL CALLED ANNE LONGTON WHICH SAILED FROM GRAVESEND LONDON ON THE 13TH JUNE 1857 AND ARRIVED IN THE FIRST INSTANCE IN AUCKLAND AND THEN GOING ONTO NEW PLYMOUTH 9TH OCTOBER 1857 WITH CAPTAIN KIRBY IN COMMAND

ANNE LONGTON ( HAS BEEN REFERENCED AS ANNIE LONGTON ) WAS A VESSEL OF 643 TON REGISTERED IN LONDON AND CHARTERED BY SHAW SAVILL & CO ( AGENTS N EDWARDS & CO ) SHE LEFT LONDON ON 9TH JULY 1864 PASSING START POINT ON THE 13TH JULY ARRIVING 116 DAYS LATER. SHE CARRIED 50 PASSENGERS AND WAS COMMANDED BY CAPTAIN HARLING ( THERE IS A STRONG POSSIBILITY HER ARRIVAL PORT WAS NELSON )


THERE WERE A FEW PROBLEMS ONBOARD DURING THIS VOYAGE DUE TO SOME OF THE CREW PILFERING THE CARGO OF SPIRITS REQUIRING THE CAPTAIN TO CARRY A PISTOL WITH HIM AT ALL TIMES DUE TO THE DRUNKENESS ONBOARD OF SOME OF THE CREW,  THE CAPTAIN ALSO HAVING TO RESORT TO ASKING SOME OF THE PASSENGERS FOR HELP IN KEEPING ORDER ONBOARD.

THE CREW  ( 10/12 OF THEM ) WERE TAKEN TO COURT ON ARRIVAL IN PORT.SHE HAD BEEN COMMANDED BY CAPTAIN HAILING ( I THINK THIS IS A SPELLING MISTAKE ON THIS RECORD AND IT SHOULD BE CAPTAIN HARLING

A VESSEL CALLED ANNE LONGTON WAS DAMAGED BY FIRE IN 1854 WHILST AT LIVERPOOL

I BELIEVE THAT ALL THESE ENTRIES ACTUALLY REFER TO THE SAME VESSEL
