Hi Ian- The Hong Kong Daily Press from 23 Jan 1865 reports the Borealis, Brit. sh. 920, Henderson, arrived in Hong Kong on 21 Jan, having left London on Sept 12th. The Hong Kong Daily Press from 3 Mar 1865 reports the Borealis cleared Hong Kong on the 2nd of March, and the March 4th issue has it departed on 3rd of March. The Singapore Straits Times issue from 25 Mar 1865 reports in shipping in Harbor that the Borealis arrived March 17th from Hong Kong and was discharging. The Singapore Straits Times issues from 8 Apr 1865, 15 Apr, 22 Apr and 29 Apr, and 8th May still show the ship in harbor in Singapore. By the 15th of May, the ship is no longer in port. The Hong Kong Daily press from July 12 reports Borealis, British Ship, arrived at Hong Kong from the Westward, at 5 PM. The next issue reports that the Borealis, Brit. sh. 920, Alex. Henderson, arrived from Rangoon where it departed the 12th of June, with rice. The Hong Kong Daily Press from 19 Oct 1865 reports the Borealis cleared HK on Oct 18 for Singapore. The departure does not appear to be listed. The Singapore Straits Times from 6 Nov 1865, page 2 reports the Borealis 920 tons, Henderson, arrived from Hong Kong, 20th of October. Last listed in harbor in the Singapore Straits Times in the 29 Nov 1865 issue. I cannot find a departure but that is not unusual with the Singapore records which tend to be erratic.
