Madagascar (ship)
The ''Madagascar'' was a large British merchant ship built for the trade to India and China in 1837, which went missing on a voyage from Melbourne to London in 1853. The disappearance of the ''Madagascar'' was one of the great maritime mysteries of the 19th century and was probably the subject of more speculation than any other 19th century disappearance except for the ''Mary Celeste.''
==The ''Madagascar'' - Building and Career==
The ''Madagascar'', the second Blackwall Frigate, was built for George and Henry Green at the Blackwall Yard, London shipyard they co-owned with the Wigram family.
A one-eighth share in the vessel was held throughout her 16-year career by her first master Captain William Harrison Walker, the remainder continuing to be owned by various members of the Green family. The ''Madagascar'' carried freight, passengers and troops between England and India until the end of 1852. In addition to her normal crew she also carried many boys being trained as officers for the merchant marine. Known as midshipmen from naval practise, their parents or guardians paid for their training, and they only received a nominal wage of usually a shilling a month.
