George Tyser's sons, W. H. Tyser and G. W. Tyser, joined the company in 1873 and the firm became known as G. D. Tyser & Co. In the same year the Trevelyan and the Himalaya were sold to Shaw, Saville & Albion but in May 1874 Wm. Pile delivered the Plassey (1764grt) which was the largest sailing ship owned by the company and which also had the highest passenger carrying capacity. To the Australian brokers this high passenger capacity meant only one thing, the ship was destined for the Australia run. ----- Original Message ----- From: "E Owens" <owense@bigpond.com> To: <AUS-IMMIGRATION-SHIPS-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, June 03, 2002 7:59 AM Subject: [AUS-IMM-SHIPS] Have no idea !! > Hi listers I would like to know if anyone has any info on a ship called the > "Trevelyan" and when it came to Australia from the UK.
