Summary

Description
English: The wooden ship 'Schomberg', 2284 tons, at Aberdeen in Sept 1855, a wooden ship, 2284 tons, 262.0 x 45.0 x 29.2. Built 1855 by A. Hall and Co. Aberdeen. Owners James Baines and Co., registered Liverpool. She left Liverpool on her maiden voyage in Oct 1855 flying a signal 'To Melbourne in 60 days' but she was a very heavy ship carrying railway iron etc., and was proving rather slow. She was wrecked 27 Dec 1855, on her maiden voyage on the Victorian coast at a spot near Curdie's Inlet, now called 'Schomberg Reef'. Her captain James 'Bully' Forbes was charged with wrecking her, and other offences in Melbourne as a result of the accident. He was cleared but it was the end of his career as a commander of fast sailing clippers. The Christchurch NZ paper Sun, 15 March 1975 published an article stating that the remains of a large portion of this ship had been discovered washed up on the West Coast of New Zealand. It is claimed that the major portion of the upperworks (the hull above the load waterline) had broken free from the bottom of the ship and as a partially submerged wreck carried across the Tasman Sea.
