Hermione
Ship: 1120 tons
Captain: Roberts
Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed London July 12th 1883 - arrived Auckland October 14th 1883
A Shaw Saville and Albion ship that
was expected to do better than was ever got out of her was the Hermione, a full-rigger who
was well-known in Auckland and other ports in the eighties and nineties - but especially
in Auckland, to which she made eight voyages. She was a handsome craft of 1120 tons and
was turned out by the Hall shipyards at Aberdeen during the same year that the company's
other classically-named ship, the Pleione, was launched. Like so many of the old colonial
ships the Hermione was "sold foreign" when steam came in. She was bought by an
Italian firm and renamed the Mantova. She was broken up at Genoa as late as the year
immediately before the outbreak of the Great War.
