Everything about Randolph Ship totally explained
Randolph was a 664-ton
ship-rigged merchant vessel constructed in 1849 in
Sunderland. She was one of the first four ships to settle
Christchurch, New Zealand (the other three were
Cressy,
Sir George Seymour and
Charlotte-Jane).
Randolph left
Gravesend on
September 4,
1850, and
Plymouth on the night of
September 7 1850. The ship was chartered by the
Canterbury Association, with Captain William Dale serving as the ship's captain. She arrived at
Lyttelton 99 days later on
December 16,
1850, with 34 cabin passengers, 15 intermediate and 161 steerage passengers.
She was lost on
25 June 1851, on a reef off Amber Island (Mapon). She had onboard a cargo of sugar for
London, a large amount of money, and 254
Indian emigrants, for
Port Louis. Nothing belonging to the vessel could be saved. Mr. Scott, an officer of the Madras Army, swam on shore, but died a moment after reaching it from exhaustion. Two European sailors, nine men (immigrants), ten women and three children were drowned.
