Stately
Barque: 560 tons
Captain: Thomas Ginder
Surgeon Superintendent: Dr Muller
Sailed London 27th January 1851 - arrived Auckland 1st June 1851
In the early fifties the barque Stately, a vessel of 560 tons, made several passages to New Zealand with passengers and general cargo. Her first visit was to Auckland, Wellington and Dunedin in 1851. She sailed from London on the 2nd February, and reached Auckland on the 1st June, 120 days from the Downs. After landing passengers and cargo, she proceeded to Wellington and Dunedin, arriving at the latter port on August 7th.
In 1851 32 female were sent to New Zealand by the Female Immigration Society in the Stately and were put out to service when they arrived. The regulations for the life on shipboard for these young women included regular needle work each day in making shirts. The shirts were to be received by an Auckland firm (Brown & Campbell) on their arrival and the women were paid for their labour.
