Description: Included with these documents are the wrappers in which the bundle was originally wrapped. They are printed notices of sailings of Inman Line, Liverpool to New York (with engraved illustration of the Royal Mail steamer City of Brussels, and Wilson Line, Hull to New York.The ship fitted out in London, which she left 4 May 1877 with a general freight for Brisbane. It was her last voyage for Barings and her last under Captain Inglis. By 1877 the latter had obtained a controlling interest in the ship, but in April of that year he mortgaged his share to JS Hodgson and CL Norman, partners of Barings. The movements of the ship on this voyage are not easy to plot from the documents preserved. But they seem to have been as follows:London - Brisbane - Shanghai - Hong Kong -Saigon and Bangkok - Hong Kong - Foochow (Fuzhou) -Melbourne - Sydney - Shanghai (where Capt Inglis left the ship and returned to England) - Foochow (Fuzhou) (under command of Capt WC Hewer) -Melbourne - Sydney - LondonShe left Sydney for London on 23 Jan 1880, but there are no documents of her arrival in London. Capt Inglis made efforts to sell the ship in Australia, but was not successful.
