Bombay
Ship: 937 tons
Captain: G Sellars
Surgeon Superintendent: Dr Matthews
Sailed London 26th August 1863 - arrived Auckland 8th December 1863
It is not generally known that the
Bombay gave the name of Bombay to the settlement situated about 29 miles south of
Auckland. Most of the early settlers in this district came out from England by the Bombay
on her first voyage to Auckland in 1863. The Bombay seldom had a fair chance when trading
to New Zealand of showing what she was capable of doing, as on nearly all the voyages out
she had the ill-luck to strike furious storms, either in the Channel or later. The Bombay
was a full-rigged ship of 937 tons, and flying the Shaw Savill flag. On the four voyages
she made to the colony she was under the command of Captain G. Sellars, a fine old
gentleman and a skilful sailor.
