It is a remarkable coincidence that probably the two most famous ships now in Sydney Harbour were formerly Blackwall
passenger ships. The vessels, now known as the "Tingira" and "Fortuna," long years age were ahorn of all the grace and
beauty which was theirs when they sailed under the Blackwall Aleg. The "Tingira" was originally the famous "Sabraon," and after 25 years in the "Tingira," and she continued

The "Sebrnon" was of 2.131 tons, her length overall being 317 feet, length between perpendicu inrs 272 feet, beam 40 feet and depth of hold 27 fect. She spread two acres of canvas, including akysails, during Arst two voyages, after which these were given up for royals over double topgallant sails. Until 1871 the "Sobraon" sailed in the London to Sydney trade, and ahu was then transferred to Melbourne. She was rarely much more than 70 days on the voyage from London to Australia, her record to Sydney being 73 days and to Melbourne 68 days. Regarding the "Sobraon's" sailing qualities, a son of her famous commander (Captain J. A. for many years, wrote: "Runs of over Elmsle), who also served in the ship

I have seen over 16 knots reel- cd aff by the log. This was with the wind some two or three points on the quarter, which was her best sailing point. On a wind and sailing within 5% points, he could do her seven to eight knots good." The old ship con- tinued in the Australian trade until December, 1891, when, on her arrival in Melbourne, she
