  1. Hi,

    The Harriet McGregor was also known as the red gum clipper.

    The captain, from 1874 to 1888 was captain Alex Leslie. His wife was also onboard and they raised 4 of their six children on the Harriet.

    The Harriet McGregor was built from red gum but the decks were from NZ Kauri.

    Length of keel 121ft

    Between perpendiculars 134.2ft

    Beam 27.6ft

    Depth 15.9ft

    and registered tonnage was 331 tons.

    All the above and much more from, "A Staunch Ship's Sea Story" by J.E. Philp Hobart 1934

     

    Regards
