- Built in Stockton-on-Tees, England in 1886 by Richardson, Duck & Company shipbuilders, the Bangalore was a three-masted square-rigged ship intended for the East Indian trade. She was 260 feet long, 40 feet beam, and 23 feet deep, measuring 1,743 gross register tons. Typical of other ships built by Richardson, Duck & Company at the time, the Bangalore had a steel hull, which was painted a lead color. Employed by the Bangalore's original owners, G. Crenshaw and Company, her first commander was Captain Ray D. Congdon from Rhode Island. Under his command, she made several trips between England and America to points east, most notably Calcutta and Hong Kong. Congdon is reported to have helped design the Bangalore. Due to illness in early 1896, Congdon was replaced by his first mate, who while returning to Boston, "went aground about one-half mile north of the Bell buoy, on the middle grounds, near Cape Charles, at 2:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon". Refloated by a pilot boat, the Bangalore again went aground "on the Horseshoe to the northward of the lighthouse". After being towed to Boston for repairs, the Bangalore changed to a United States registry in 1901, purchased by the Maine Navigation Company of New York. Under American ownership, command of the ship changed to Captain Albert Nickels Blanchard of Searsport, Maine. Captain Blanchard both commanded and took one-fifth ownership of the ship until 1906, establishing a steady route between the eastern United States and the Hawaiian Islands. Cargo primarily consisted of coal en route to Hawaii and sugar to the eastern ports of Delaware Breakwater, Baltimore, and Philadelphia. Albert Blanchard's younger brother Phineas Banning Blanchard took command of the Bangalore in 1906, continuing command of the route that took her around Cape Horn two more times. Banning Blanchard retained command of the Bangalore until October 1907, when command was succeeded briefly by a Captain Colley. (en)
