Sons
SAIL AUXILIARIES -- Service
to Australia via
Cape of
Good Hope by
auxiliaries from 1864, and
after 1869 return via Suez. Because of
the
competition from the Orient
Line and P & O,
the Wigram service with sail
auxiliaries came to an end
in 1880. The firm survived until 1889
through
charters and carriage of
cargo until 1889 when it was wound
up.
