Voyage to London in 1871
Under command of Captain John Bruce
Departure port Port Adelaide
Departure date 18th November 1870
Arrival port London
Arrival date 3rd March 1871
Voyage duration 105 days

After being anchored in the Port River for a week after her arrival, the ship was docked at Company's Wharf in Port Adelaide for the remaining twelve weeks of her visit. She completed her loading over two days in mid-stream, then sailed from South Australia on 18 November 1870,[1] and arrived in London on 3 March 1871, a duration of 105 days.

Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Alan Platt, historian, specialising in the history of the City of Adelaide and its illustrious masters, we have a list of passengers who are known to have made the return voyage to England aboard the clipper. The list was compiled by Dr. Platt from data collected from Adelaide newspapers by R.T. (Bob) Sexton, noted South Australian maritime author.
