General History:
28/05/1850:
There was also launched from the building-yard of Messrs A. Duthie & Co., on Saturday, a ship, of the clipper build and with round stern, of 460 tons measurement. This vessel is, we understand, built for a London firm, and is intended for the East India trade. She was named the "RIENZI", and is altogether a splendid vessel, uniting great strength with beautiful-symmetry, and apparently possessed of sailing qualities of the first order.
