Her ship The Queen of Nations was a wooden clipper ship, later a barquentine, and was built at Aberdeen, in 1861, by Walter Hood. Her maiden voyage was made from London to Melbourne the same year. The Queen of Nations, under Captain Donald, went from Plymouth to Melbourne in 87 and 84 days. She was a very rakish looking craft with long overhangs and carried a heavy press of sail, which included double topsails, skysails, main and mizzen sky staysails and also 3 cornered moonsails stretching to the truck of each mast. She was one of the highly-regarded vessels of the Aberdeen White Star Line. For 20 years, this work of ingenuity and pride transported cargo and passengers between London and Sydney. The ship was admired for its speed and sleek lines.
Letters attached asking her to retake her oath as she has taken it in front of the wrong official.
