Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed Plymouth August 17th 1861 - arrived Auckland November 19th 1861
Our sincere thanks to Margaret Couch for sending us this list and other information.
Black Eagle, 1400 tons, Captain W
Smith, sailed from Plymouth 17th August, arrived 19th November. Passengers, 144. During a
heavy gale the day after sailing, two casualties occurred, the first to a seaman, who fell
from the rigging, which caused his death, and the second to a passenger, John H Cobb, who
fractured his leg in a fall. In November, 1924, four of the passengers by this ship were
living in the Auckland province, viz: Mrs Hooper, Messrs William Taylor, R C Carr or
Remuera, Auckland, and Mr A A Alexander of Okaihau. When the vessel arrived at Auckland
there was not sufficient water to enable her to berth alongside the new wharf, which at
that time extended from Quay Street to about half way down the present wharf, consequently
the passengers and cargo had to be landed in cutters.
