Marco Polo
* The Marco Polo left Liverpool on 4th July 1852. The master was Captain James Nichol 'Bully' Forbes with 60 crew and 2000 tons of cargo. There were 930 passengers - the largest number of passengers up to that time. They arrived, after the fastest time of 78 days, in Hobson's Bay on 20th Sept 1852.
* The Marco Polo was built at St John, New Brunswick, Canada in 1851 by James Smith. This vessel was 1625 registered tons, 185 feet (56 metres), and was twice the size of the other ships in the Blackball Line of Liverpool.
