Lammermuir Party
The Lammermuir Party was a British group of Protestant missionaries who traveled to China in 1866 aboard the tea clipper ''Lammermuir'', accompanied by James Hudson Taylor, the founder of the China Inland Mission. Mission historians have indicated that this event was a turning point in the history of missionary work in China in the 19th century.〔Tucker (1983)〕 This was the largest party of Protestant missionaries to date to arrive at one time on Chinese shores. It was also noteworthy that none of the members of the mission were ordained ministers, and only two had any previous overseas experience. In addition to this, there were among them nine unmarried women traveling to a place where single European women were rare for many reasons.
==Departure==
On the morning of 26 May 1866, the 34 sailors, 18 missionaries and four children boarded the ''Lammermuir'', which lay tied up at London's East India Docks. ''Lammermuir'' was a two-year-old clipper ship with three masts and square-rigged sails. Her frame was built of iron, and by the standards of the day, she was a first-class sailing vessel. A voyage halfway around the world would only take four months; a fast trip compared to the six month duration of some of the older ships of the previous decade.
Henry Grattan Guinness wrote a hymn in honor of their departure that echoed Hudson Taylor’s 1865 book ''China's Spiritual Need and Claims'':
