' NOTES. Many people have fond memories of the good old days, and the old sailing vessel's which carried thousands of people to these shores are pretty well all Eold now to foreigners, and as time goes on their names are usually changed and they sink into obscurity. Perhaps there was no vessel trading to Xew Zealand, up to 20 years ago, that was better known than the Shaw-Savill ship Nelson. On December 31 the old vessel arrived at Sydney from the Pacific coast with a cargo of after a good passage of 54 days. She is now owned in Sydney, to which country she was sold some years ago. After dijtharging, the vessel will proceed to Newcastle, where she will probably load coal for Xewcastle, where she will probably load coal for the West Coast of America. Another of the Shaw-Savill fleet also arrived at Sydney on January 2 from the Pacific Coast, with lumber. She w : as the barque Belfast, which arrived after a passage of 5? days. Unlike the Nelson, the Belfast has never visited Lyttelton, but has been a constant trader to Australia for many years. As this is the age of steamships, it is interesting (says the Sun) to recall the old ships after they have been disposed to foreigners. Since the outbreak of war prices of ships have soared higher and higher. The latest news to hand reports more sales, and it will be seen that, especially sailing vessels, as well as steamers, are being sold at excellent profits. The Norwegian barque Camfcusdoon, at present loading coal at Xewcastle. has been sold for £9OOO. The Cambusdoon, which put into Lyttelton about- olgtit years ago, whilst bound from Sydney to Falmouth with wheat, is a steel barque of 1512 tons register, and carried 2750. tons dead weight. She was sold in 1909 for £3825. The barque Ressfield, which was sold to Norwegians in 1910 for £2300, has also been sold for £BBOO. The small iron barque Killocna, which in lflOS was sold for £1550, has just been re-sold for £4OOO. The barque Ashmore. 10-13 tons, which was purchased by Norwegians in 1007 for £3050. has now been sold for £5500. The Ashmore arrived at Lyttelton on July 7, 1901, from Capetown, in ballast, and left, again on August 2 for Falmouth with wheat for orders. She also visited Timaru only last year.
