Dorette
Ship: 848 Tons
Captain: Ayles
Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed London 20th January 1874 - arrived Auckland 14th April 1874
For over twenty years the ship Waimea,
which flew the flag of the New Zealand Shipping Co., traded to New Zealand, and during
that time she brought out a large number of immigrants to this country. A vessel of 848
tons, she was built at Hamburg in 1868, and while under the German flag she was called the
Dorette; in fact when she visited Auckland in 1874 she still bore that name. She was
bought by the New Zealand Shipping Co., in 1874, and in later years her rig was changed
from that of ship to barque. Her last visit to New Zealand was in 1895, and she was
subsequently sold to a Norwegian firm for �2450.
