Dilpussund
Barque: 625 tons
Captain: Kelly
Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed London March 8th 1877 - arrived Auckland June 23rd 1877
Two voyages were made to Auckland by
the barque Dilpussund, in command of Captain Kelly. She arrived first on April 15th, 1876,
after a long passage of 114 days, and she was back again on June 23rd of the following
year, the passage on that occasion taking 106 days. A strange occurrence marked the voyage
of 1877. She left Gravesend on March 9th, and on April 25th, during the afternoon, the
crew of the barque felt a distinct shock, as if she had passed over a sandbank. The
incident was put down to a shock from a submarine earthquake. On both voyages the barque
experienced heavy weather in the Southern Ocean.
