Huddart, Parker and Co., Limited, Steam Ship Proprietors. Head Office, Melbourne, Chief office for New Zealand, Queen's Chambers, corner of Jervois Quay and Queen's Wharf Approach, Wellington. Telephone 850; P.O. Box 195. Bankers, Bank of New Zealand. General manager for the Colony, Mr. John Murrell. Private residence, 88 Majoribanks Street. This popular Company owns a fleet of seventeen powerful modern steam vessels, which trade in Australasian waters. In December, 1893, an office was established in the Empire City, with agencies at the principal ports. Since this time Messrs. Huddart, Parker and Co., Limited, have maintained a regular service from Sydney to Dunedin via Auckland and East Coast ports. At the time of writing (1896) the Company's vessels—the s.s. “Tasmania” and the s.s. “Anglian, which have recently been greatly improved—make alternate trips every four weeks to and from the Colony. By an agreement with the Union Steam Ship Company the passenger tickets of both companies are available by either company's vessels, much to the advantage of the travelling public.
