SPRAY OF THE OCEAN

SPRAY OF THE OCEAN WAS A VESSEL OF 805 TONS, AND ORIGINALLY ENGAGED ON THE INDIA TEA TRADE. SHE WAS CHARTERED BY SHAW SAVILLE & CO IN 1859. SHE LEFT LONDON ON THE 6TH JUNE 1859 AND ARRIVED IN AUCKLAND ON THE 1ST SEPTEMBER. THE SHIPS CAPTAIN ON THIS VOYAGE WAS CAPTAIN SLAUGHTER. SHE RETURNED TO THE U.K AND RESUMED HER ORIGINAL TRADE ON THE TEA TRADE.I BELIEVE THIS WAS THE ONLY TIME THAT SHE WAS CHARTERED BY SHAW SAVILLE & CO.THIS MUST BE THE SAME VESSEL THAT THE WHITE STAR LINE CHARTERED IN 1856 FOR A VOYAGE TO MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA UNDER THE COMMAND OF CAPTAIN SLAUGTER.
