Rakaia
Ship: 1022 tons
Captain: Metcalf
Surgeon Superintendent: William Russell
Sailed London 6th July 1878 - arrived Wellington 8th October 1878
A ship that made good average passages
out and Home was the New Zealand Shipping Company's full-rigger Rakaia, 1022 tons, which
was built for the company in 1873 by Blumer and Company. After completing seventeen
voyages to the colony she was sold to a German firm and renamed the Marie. She was sold
again, and again named Rakaia. She was once more sold to a firm in Boston, USA, the price
being 4850 dollars, and re-named the Ruth Stark, and as such was reported in a dismasted
condition whilst on a voyage from Boston to Secondi. The vessel's name disappeared from
Lloyd's register about four years ago (c1920).
