Parkfield

Official Number 14714

The Parkfield was a 500 ton East Indiaman built at the Bath shipyard at Douglas, Isle of Man, in 1833. Four years after her launch a Manx newspaper reported that she had travelled 13,300 miles in 78 days on a passage from Liverpool to Bombay, and that her previous return voyage from India had been the shortest on record.

In Lloyds Register 1840 the owner was named as Cockburn, the ship being noted on the London-Sydney run.
