The wooden barque Humphrey Nelson was built at Dundee in 1855 for Nelson & Co. of Maryport. Registered at 476 tons and measuring 134 feet in length with a 25 foot beam, she began her career sailing out of Liverpool under the command of her owner Captain P. Nelson. Within ten years however, she was trading out of London to China under Captain Chellew but disappears from record in the early 1870s.
