Description
English: The 'Windsor Castle' 1250 Tons leaving Bombay Harbour

Print entitled 'The Windsor Castle 1250 Tons leaving Bombay Harbour'. The ship is flying the post-1843 Green Blackwall line house flag at the main. 'Windsor Castle' was built in Sunderland in 1857 for Green's London to India run. Her later bill of sale is included in NMM MS GRN 14. Richard Isaac Bruce, who sailed on this ship in 1862 from Bombay to Karachi, describes it, in ‘The Forward Policy and Its Results’ (Longmans, Green and Co., London,1900), as: 'a wretched little steamer of about 400 hundred tons', its cabins 'cramped, dirty, and stifling'. [information supplied by Mr John Carlill].
