Departure port	Port Adelaide
Departure date	14 November 1872
Arrival port	London
Arrival date	24 February 1873

Having spent the seven weeks between voyages docked at Company's Wharf in Port Adelaide, the City of Adelaide sailed from South Australia on 14 November 1872, and arrived in London on 24 February 1873, a duration of 102 days.

Thanks to the generosity of Dr. Alan Platt, historian, specialising in the history of the City of Adelaide and its illustrious masters, we have a list of passengers who are known to have made the return voyage to England aboard the clipper. The list was compiled by Dr. Platt from data collected from Adelaide newspapers by R.T. (Bob) Sexton, noted South Australian maritime author.
