One of the most interesting vessels in Australasian waters is the little steamer Mullogh, which, for fifty-three years, had preserved an almost unbroken connection with the shipping history of Lyttelton. and which ended her connection with the port this week (states the Lyttelton Times), when she left for Timaru. With, perhaps, the possible exception of the Stormbird, of Wellington, the Mullogh is the oldest steamer on the active list in Australasian waters. Her original register is an interesting document, and shows her to have been built at Belfast, Ireland, in i 1855. Her builders were Messrs Coates and Young, who are stated to have been the predecessors of the famous firm of Harland and Wolff. The Mullogh was built at Queen's Island, Belfast, the birthplace of many famous steamers. It is a far cry from the 59 tons of the Mullogh to the 45,000 tons of the Olympic, but both vessels were built on almost the same site. The Mullogh is still propelled by a single-cylinder high-pressure engine of 15 horse-power (nominal). It is a solidly-built engine, and is as good to-day, or even better, than when first fitted into the vessel. The vessel is now to be employed in trawling.
