Ocean Mail
Ship:
Captain: Thomas Cawse
Surgeon Superintendent: Thomas Makepiece Harding
Sailed London 14th August 1875 - arrived Auckland 23rd November 1875
The Ocean Mail was well known in New
Zealand waters, having made four passages to the Colony. On the passage the Ocean mail
made to Auckland in 1875 she had an exciting experience in the English Channel. When she
was about 15 miles below Portland, in a dense fog, she collided with and Italian barque
called the Partitoe. The Ocean Mail lost her jibboom and starboard anchor, but sustained
no other damage. The Italian lost his mizzen mast and sustained some other damage. In 1876
the Ocean Mail took part in a race back Home with the Avalanche and Crusader. The Ocean
Mail, however, ran aground on the Chatham Islands early in the race and was wrecked.
