Zephyr (1854-1902) The Zephyr was a three-masted wooden sailing ship of 1312 tons, built by Daniel D. Kelley of East Boston, Massachusetts in 1854. It was purchased by the Adelaide Steamship Company and used as a coal hulk in Albany between 1884 and October 1902, when it was beached and abandoned on the Albany foreshore. The site has not been located and remains of the Zephyr are believed to lie under reclaimed land on the Albany foreshore.
