THE OLIVEBANK
WELL-KNOWN BARQUE
The well-known four-masted barque Olivebank, of 2795 tons, which struck, a mine recently 105 miles south-west of Bovbfeng (Denmark), has visited New Zealand on several occasions. - Built in 1892 at Port Glasgow for the Bank Line of sailers, the Olivebank was a constant trader to Australian ports since she was launched. . During the last war she was one of the sailers that loaded wool and general' cargo at Sydney for the United States. On that occasion she went to Sydney from' Melbourne in ballast, and as the captain of the vessel was so anxious to reach Sydney as quickly as possible, she was taken in tow 'by the tug Champion off Gabo island. This enabled the voyage to be made in three days. Since the last war the Olivebank has each year been one of the grain fleet of sailers that load wheat at South Australia for the United Kingdom. . '
