James Bentley Corbin Born 1844 in Ringwood, Hampshire, England to James Corbin 1821 - 1863 and Harriet White 1821 - 1852 Emigrated to Australia in 1861 A ship called the AEROLITE left the PORT OF LONDON for Sydney, 28 December 1863. She arrived 26 April 1984. On board among the crew is listed James Corbin , Assistant Cook. TThe Aerolite was a full-rigged ship built in 1853 by Charles Lamport at Workington. She was designed for fast passages, and an article in the Times shortly before her launch (see Source 2), wrote of "the splendid new clipper Aerolite, to be launched in a few days at Workington, where she has been built by Mr.Lamport expressly for the Australian and China trades, and to compete with the fastest American and Aberdeen clippers." In 1863 an advertisement in the Times stated that "the Aerolite, London packet, for Sydney, to sail 28th Dec., is the celebrated China clipper and favourite passenger ship. She has proved herself to be one of the fastest ships afloat, having made the passage from Shanghae to London in 79 days, and is still commanded by Capt.Alleyne. Her saloon is elegantly furnished, and replete with every comfort and luxury that passengers could desire. Takes a limited number of second-class and steerage passengers, in the poop."
