Scottish steam Greenland whaler Windward returned home according to the Dutch newspaper Vlaardingsche courant dated 8 August 1874

An item reported the arrival on Thursday morning at Peterhead, England of the steamship Windward returning from Greenland with just 25 barrels oil. The catch could have been somehow better if she was not forced to return with damaged engines. However the tidings were not encouraging dealing with the hunting. They feared that just like by the Norwegian ships the catch was to be of hardly any importance. Of the results of the Dundee-fleet was yet nothing known.
