She was a three-masted ship-rigged vessel, built as the Melbourne by R. \u0026amp; H. Green of Blackwall for their Blackwall line run to Australia. She was built from surplus plates from a 'Man of War' which was under construction at the same yard and launched in June 1875. She sailed on the London to Melbourne run until she was sold to Davitt and Moore in 1887, who then put her on the London to Sydney run, changing her name to \u003cem\u003eMacquarie\u003c\/em\u003e in 1888. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eShe was a very comfortable and successful ship and mainly carried passengers on the outward run. On the return journey, the second- and third-class cabins were generally dismantled to accommodate a cargo of wool. From 1897, under the command of Captain Corner, the company used her to train their cadets. She was then sold to J.Bryde of Sandefjord, Norway, in 1904 and renamed \u003cem\u003eFortuna\u003c\/em\u003ewas used as a coal hulk in Sydney Harbour. She was finally converted to a coal-carrying barge in 1949 and was broken up by T. Carr \u0026amp; Co., Sydney in 1953.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePhotographs and images:\u003c\/strong\u003eWe ensure that images on our site are faithful to the originals but point out that slight colour variation can occur according to the screen on which they are viewed.
