Although a fine large ship of over
1000 tons, the Himalaya made only average passages, but on one occasion she ran from the
Lizard to the Snares in 78 days, She made twenty-four voyages to the colony, and brought
out many thousand passengers. She was built in 1863, and about 1865 was purchased by the
Shaw Savill Co. In 1896 she was sold to the Alaska Packers Co. and renamed the Star of
Peru. In 1880 her rig was changed from a ship to a barque. NB A
small barque named Himalya, a vessel of 477 tons, arrived at New Plymouth, and then
proceeded to Nelson, arriving there on January 10th, 1844 under the command of Captain
Burns.

SLEEMAN family: The Sleeman Family Tree - Descendants of John & Hannah Maria Sleeman Of Boyton, Cornwall is a book compiled by Glynn Hardy in 1990 and therein he has noted William SLEEMAN and his wife Harriet STACEY as having been assisted immigrants that came to New Zealand by the Himalaya in March 1873. This family initially settled at Wairiri Valley, Hororata and then later moved to Christchurch where they ran a boarding house. Apparently another brother, Charles Palmer SLEEMAN & his wife Hannah BLADES also came to New Zealand by the Piako which arrived at Lyttelton on January 16th 1880. |
