Notes - interesting informations

Surveyor observed during the survey that some of the masts and yards were in defective condition. He drew the attention of the Master, who was also part owner, to this. The defects would have to be rectified for the ship to remain in class. The surveyor then spotted an advert, possibly in Lloyd’s List, offering the ship for sale with the information that she would remain in class until August 1880, the following year. This was fraudulent information as the ship could not remain in class with reported defects to her masts and yards. The Classification committee acted quickly by expunging the figure part of her classification, and contacting the owners. By the following week, with no reply received, her class was suspended a week later.
