Jessie Osborne
Ship: 1058 tons
Captain: Falconer
Surgeon Superintendent: W Allnute
Sailed Liverpool September 15th 1876 - arrived Auckland 19th December 1876
The Jessie Osborne, chartered in the
'seventies by the New Zealand Shipping Company to convey immigrants to the Dominion, was a
fine full-rigged ship of 1058 tons, and when fitted up to carry passengers was comfortable
and a fast sailer. Prior to trading to New Zealand, and when on a voyage to California,
she was driven ashore, and the wreck was purchased by an American firm. Her name was then
changed to Mariposa. She made one pasage to Liverpool from San Francisco, but she was then
bought back by the original owners., and her name was again changed to Jessie Osborne. She
was in 1876 chartered by the New Zealand Shipping Company, and after completing two
voyages to New Zealand, was sold to a Norwegian firm, converted into a barque, and
re-named Okta. Some years later, in 1913, the old barque, still bearing the same name, was
loaded with a cargo of jarrah timber in Tasmania, and sailed for Falmouth. She put into
Bluff harbour in distress, struck the Pelham rocks, Sterling Point, and became a total
wreck.
