SS
BAYLEY, 2607 tons, Alfred Childs, from London. The Tyser liner BAYLEY arrived
off Timaru yesterday afternoon and was brought in by the PS MANA and berthed at
the main wharf. The BAYLEY will take away 17,300 sheep and lamb, the largest
cargo of frozen meat which has ever been put on board at this port. The BAYLEY left
London on January 20th. Called in at Melbourne and Sydney and the Bluff.
Timaru
Herald Wednesday 8 April 1891
The
steamer BAYLEY completed loading yesterday afternoon, and was taken out by the harbourmaster in the
teeth of a strong north-east wind and dirty weather outlook. The BAYLEY
anchored in the outer roads for the night, and will go on this morning to
Lyttelton to coal for Home. 19,500 carcasses frozen mutton and lamb was put on
board by two gangs of men working in about 19 hours, or at the rate of 1000 an
hour, 5000 at each hatch. This shipment
is noteworthy too for the fact that the BAYLEY is the first steamer to complete
her loading here, the hatches being filled with South Canterbury mutton and
ice.

The Belfast Directory in 1900 stated that “No city

itself from insignificance to vast importance as Belfast.” From the launch
of its first iron vessel, the KHERSONESE in 1855, the shipyard became of
worldwide importance with the success of its international expertise and
enterprise.

The Illustrated London News 3rd November 1855
This noble ship presents
another instance of the rapid progress now being made in the construction of
iron vessels. In her are admirably combined all the qualities necessary for a
sea-going vessel: she is full rigged; and, as her dimensions will show, capable
of carrying canvas with any ship afloat: her length of keel is 222 feet, her
length on deck being 235 feet; breadth of beam, 30 feet; depth of hold, 22 feet
11 inches; builder’s tonnage, about 1700. It is intended at present to erect a
saloon for cabin-passengers aft, and house forward for the officers,
engineers, &c., as to leave an extensive area of main deck as a promenade
clear for passengers or troops, or accommodation for the transport of horses.
Her ‘tween decks present a clear space of 180 feet long and 7 feet high, well
ventilated. She has five bulkheads, two of which run to the upper deck; she has
capacity for over 2000 tons cargo, after leaving ample room for her engines,
machinery, and coal. Her engines, constructed by Messrs. Randolph, Elder, and
Co., of Glasgow, are nominally 200-horse power; but this only faintly
represents the actual power, which will combine safety with great speed. The
Khersonese was built by Messrs. Robert Hickson and Co., on the beautiful piece
of land known as Queen’s Island, forming one side of the harbour of Belfast,
and is the largest vessel ever built in Ireland. She was launched on October
4th and, on entering the water, was greeted by the cheers of thousands of the
inhabitants assembled on the Island and opposite quays. The material is of the
best and heaviest used for ships of this size, put together on the firmest and
most approved plan and forming, on the whole, as handsome and as useful a ship
as any afloat. Mr. James Alexander, of Liverpool (with whom is associated
Messrs. James Johnson and Co., of same place, and Messrs. A. and C. Taylor, of
Dublin), is the managing owner of the Khersonese; and we understand they are so
highly satisfied with her model and construction that they have arranged with
Messrs. Robert Hickson and Co. to build another ship of about 2000 tons, which
is now well advanced, and will be launched in about three months.
The Times 1st June 1857
Liverpool, Saturday
The advantages of the new graving docks at Birkenhead
have been exemplified by the despatch given to the repairs of the screw
steamship Khersonese. The vessel arrived on the 22nd inst with a broken shaft
and minus her screw, and was docked the next day in Mr Laird's large dock.
Today she was afloat again, having had several new plates put to her bottom,
and a new screw shaft ( which had to be forged ) fitted. She will sail early in
the week for Portland.
5th August 1857 The Times
Sea Sickness Cureable
Dr W P Harris - surgeon to the Chersonese steamship,
writes to the Lancet : "I am much surprised at the opinion which is so
prevalent of the utter incurability of sea sickness. i believe this opinion to
exist amongst the non-medical part of the community from sheer ignorance, and
among sea-going surgeons from a supineness in applying remedies, a fault to
which they are rather too subject. As surgeon to one of the first-class
American steamships, which each voyage carries over to Portland at least 400
emigrants, I think I may venture to state my experience. In the greater number
of instances I allow the stomach to discharge its contents once or twice, and
then, if there is no organic disease, I give five drops of chloroform in a
little water, and if necessary repeat the dose in four or six hours. The almost
constant effect of this treatment, is to cause an immediate sensation as it
were of warmth in the stomach, accompanied by almost a total relief of the
nausea and sickness, likewise curing the distressing headache, and usually
causing a quiet sleep, from which the passenger awakes quite well".
