PURCHASE OF SHIPS. It is likely that two more sailing ships, the Claudia and the Suzanne, will make the voyage to Australia to load wheat next season, as a result of a recent purchase of Captain Gustaf Erikson, owner of the majority of ; the world’s deep-water sailing ships, which have their home port at Marieham, Finland., ; The Suzanne was built in 1880, and the Claudia in 1884, and both have been engaged in the logwood trade between the West Indies and France.
