Allahabad was an iron sailing ship of 1,190 tons gross and 1,143 tons net register. It was built in Liverpool in 1864, and at the time of her loss was the property of Thomas Wall Stephens of London and him being the managing owner.[1]

Allahabad last left Glasgow on 2 July 1886, with a crew of 20 and a cargo of 1,712 tons, of which 1,635 were coals, bound to Dunedin, New Zealand. Having been signalled on 7 July off the Tuscar, she was on 4 September following, spoken, in about latitude 29° south and longitude 28° west, by the South Australian. From that time she has not been seen or heard of, and never arrived at her destination.[2][3]
