ASHBURTON WAS A VESSEL OF 692 TONS AND REPORTEDLY OWNED BY SHAW SAVILL & CO.

 SHE SAILED FROM LONDON IN 1857 TO WELLINGTON AND THEN ONTO LYTTLETON ARRIVING IN LYTTLETON ON 15TH JANUARY 1858.UNDER THE COMMAND OF CAPTAIN KING.

ON 28TH AUGUST 1857 SHE LEFT LIVERPOOL BOUND  NEW YORK WITH CAPTAIN I BRADISH IN COMMAND

 SHE SAILED FROM LONDON ON THE 12TH AUGUST 1859 FOR NELSON WITH 40 PASSENGERS ONBOARD ARRIVING IN NELSON ON 6TH DECEMBER

I THINK THAT IN REALITY SHE WAS NOT OWNED DIRECTLY BY SHAW SAVILL & CO BUT CHARTERED AND PASSED OF AS BEING ONE OF THEIR OWN SHIPS

NOT TO BE CONFUSED WITH THE SHIP LORD ASHBURTON
