On 24th May 1870 the City of Adelaide departed London before calling at Dartmouth on the way to South Australia for the seventh time. The master was Captain John Bruce.

Among the passengers on board were Mr. John D. Mayer and his wife (formerly Miss Eugenie Boileau). Mr. Mayer was the heir to the Italian title of Count Rossi, and his wife was a descendant of Prince Boilaeu of France. Mr Mayer ascended to the title of Count Rossi in 1896.[1]

Both Mr and Mrs Mayer were musically gifted. Mrs Mayer had performed at the first Handel Festival held at the Crystal Palace in London in 1857, while Mr Mayer had been a boy soprano in St Paul's Cathedral in London.

Mr Mayer was a school teacher and later at various mid-north and York Peninsula schools and a lay preacher. He is also credited with the invention of a specialist needle threader, which he no doubt invented to assist his wife who was gifted in the ancient handicraft of tatting.
