Voyage to London in 1874
Under command of Captain Llewellyn Bowen
Departure port Port Adelaide
Departure date 3rd November 1873
Arrival port London
Arrival date 15th February 1874
Voyage duration 104 days

The City of Adelaide discharged her passengers and cargo at the Company's Wharf in Port Adelaide during the month of July 1873. She was then anchored in the Port River "stream" for the next eight weeks, before being returned to the wharf where, throughout October, she steadily assembled her cargo for the voyage "home". The ship was cleared from the dock on the 29th October, but the weather was so boisterous that she anchored at the Semaphore Anchorage until she was able to sail down the Gulf at dawn on 3 November 1873.[1] She arrived in London on 15 February 1874, a duration of 104 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.
