Geschiedenis
Joseph Osborn traded from Liverpool to Cape Town, Calcutta, Amoy, Singapore, Hong Kong, Foochow, Demerara, Bombay, Madras, Sydney, etc. For one period of eight months he was on Government Service, carrying supplies from Bombay to Abyssinia for the punitive war that Britain had declared on the "King-of-Kings" Theodore, who had deposed Ras Ali in 1855. Osborn was at sea for over 35 years, his longest period of service being 12 years on the barque RECORDER. He retired from the sea in 1875 and spent the next eight years overseeing the building and fitting of Liverpool ships.
