The Banian was a full-rigged ship built by Peile, Scott and Co. at Workington in 1856. She was owned by J.H.Bushby of Liverpool, who also owned the Workington-built clippers Belted Will, Carricks, Invincible, Corea, Kamehameha the Fourth, Clymene, Volunteer and Dunmail.
In September 1872 the Banian arrived at Sydney from Liverpool under the command of Capt. Richard Alleyne (see Source 4 for crew list).
Source 5 lists Capt.Owen H. Williams as master of the Banian from 1879 to 1882, and states "ship lost off Rio". Capt.Williams had previously been master and owner of the Duchess of Lancaster, also built at Workington.
From the Times Newspaper, Wednesday 12th February, 1879, page 12 :
" The Banian, British ship, from Manilla for the Channel, laden with sugar, is ashore at Zulangbank, in lat.4S, long.106E, but will probably be got off after discharging part of cargo. A steamer and lighters have been sent to her assistance from Batavia, Feb.11. The Banian belongs to J.H.Bushby, of London. "From the Times Newspaper, Friday 25th May, 1883, page 5 :
" The Anglo-Brazilian Times of May 1 announces that the British ship Banian, which left Antonina on the 23d April, with a cargo of matè, for Valparaiso, struck on the bank south-south-east of the bar at Antonina, and sank in nine fathoms of water. The crew were saved. "
