The SS Hereford was owned by the Merchant Shipping Co, London, built by J. Elder & Co., Glasgow, was launched in 1869 and acquired by the New Zealand Shpping Co in the 1870s. It made three voyages to Lyttelton, New Zealand with approximately three hundred emigrants each time. The first voyage in 1874 took 87 days, and the second took 80 days, arriving in Lyttelton on 19 January 1878. In 1881, she was stranded on Ingleby Reef near Port Phillip Heads, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, and towed off on 12 March 1881 by a tug on the third journey. Emily Goldberg appears to have been on the second voyage, (which she puts as arriving in Sydney in December 1878) before the ship continued on to New Zealand arriving on 19th January 1878. She appears to get her year wrong, her arrival actually being December 1877).
