SS Mataura (seen here in dry dock in Auckland in the 1880s)
Built under the name of Dunfillan, the Mataura was launched in 1868, from the yards of Aitken, Glasgow, and purchased by the New Zealand Shipping Company in 1874. She was a full-rigged ship of 853 tons.
The passage to Nelson, which arrived 10 November 1875, brought out 216 immigrants, 75 of whom were for Nelson, 40 were for New Plymouth, the remainder for Marlborough and Westland. Click here for an abbreviated transcript of one passenger's diary.
