SS Dunedin

Did you know that the SS Dunedin successfully beat the Aussies in the frozen meat trade with mother England? Oh yes, 1882 was the winning year! The ship sailed with a host of meaty cargo and kept it cold all the way to the markets: 4331 goats, 598 lambs and 22 pig carcasses, 246 kegs (one keg = 45kgs!) of butter, 2226 sheep tongues (yummy) and your usual assortment of hare, pheasant, turkey and chicken.

In thinking about all this the Butcher's count their frozen chickens and keep their eye's fixed on The Weather Channel as the setting of the sails draws near for their very own voyage across the ditch.
