The 'Ninevah' at Sydney

NINEVAH
This was a 1,174 ton wooden hulled ship, built in 1864 by Walter Hood, Aberdeen for the Aberdeen White Star Line. This company was renowned for the smartness of their ships, with their green painted hulls, white masts and spars and gilt scroll work at their bows and sterns. The NINEVAH was considered a lucky ship with her freights and passengers and made a great deal of money for her owners. She made a passage from the UK to Sydney of 79 days in 1873, and was used in the wool trade on the homeward voyages which took about 105 days. Later purchased by Goodlet & Smith, Sydney, she was abandoned in the North Pacific in February 1896. [The Colonial Clippers by Basil Lubbock]

The family arrived in Sydney in January, 1875. Laban's brothers Samuel and James were already in Australia. James Halstead started a boat-building business based in Lavender Bay.

More about the Halstead boat-building business.

Sadly, three of the children, (Obadiah, aged 7; Laban, aged 5; and Lydia, aged 3), died within 18 months of their arrival in Australia. Laban and Sarah went on to have 5 more children: Isaac Leonard, b. 1876; Matilda May, b. 1878; William Ernest, b. 1880; Violet Louise, b. 1882; Spencer Victor, b. 1883.
