Framed Print of The Eastern Monarch, emigrant-ship for New Zealand, 1874. Creator: Josiah Robert Wells
The Eastern Monarch, emigrant-ship for New Zealand, 1874. This fine ship, the first of the fleet belonging to the Royal Exchange Shipping Company (Limited), has been lying in the South-West India Docks taking in her cargo for Canterbury, New Zealand, with 520 emigrant passengers. She is the largest iron sailing-ship ever built at Sunderland. Her builders were Messrs. Mouncey and Foster. The dimensions of the ship are: Length over all, 270 ft.; breadth, 40 ft. 6 in.; depth, 23 ft. 6 in.; carrying capacity, 3200 tons...Her shape being one of the finest model, she will have great sailing speed. She is furnished with all the best appliances for working the ship - steam-engines, steam-winch, and condenser. There is saloon accommodation for twenty-five first-class passengers, with every comfort and luxury. The fittings and furniture are of oak, walnut, rosewood, and bird's-eye maple, with gilding. The Eastern Monarch, under the command of Captain Donaldson, is expected to make the passage to Port Lyttelton, Canterbury, in seventy days. At the same time, the New Zealand Shipping Company, by whom she is dispatched, are sending out vessels to Otago, Wellington, Auckland, Napier, and Southland, the other chief provinces of New Zealand'.
