When did the Joyce Phillips, a clipper arrive & depart Singapore in 1873?
« on: Sunday 17 November 13 09:20 GMT (UK) »
The Joyce (Joyse) Phillips, a clipper, departed Hong Kong on 17 Nov 1873 & was sighted on 16 Dec 1873 going thru the Straits of Sunda for Melbourne Australia. When did the clipper arrive & depart Singapore in Nov/Dec 1873? Is there  a copy of the arrival & departure dates in the Singapore papers? If so, could I please have a copy or advise where I can view it?

I have already viewed Trove online & discovered the clipper arrived in Melbourne on 28 Jan 1874.

Thank you.

You can search the Singapore Library newspaper archives online but I don't see anything for this vessel http://newspapers.nl.sg/Default.aspx?source=digitised

If she called at Singapore I'd expect to see her listed in the "Departures" table in the fortnightly Straits Times Overland Journal for 18 December 1873 ... but I don't see her there http://newspapers.nl.sg/Digitised/Page/stoverland18731218-1.1.10.aspx
