This was The Rockwood's maiden voyage.
In 1889 it was still serving as a trading vessel.
The Shaw Savill and Albion Co.'s chartered barque Rockwood finished her loading on Saturday evening and sails for London to-day. She has taken on 700 tons wheat and a little over 1600 bales of wool. She should arrive in time for the April wool sales.
