Dilharree
Barque: 1293 Tons
Captain: R. McNeilly
Sailed Plymouth 13th December 1873 - arrived Lyttleton 11th March 1874

Originally a full-rigged ship built for trooping to India, the Dilharee, a composite-built vessel of 1293 tons, was rigged as a barque when she came to New Zealand in 1874 and 1875. She was a well found craft, and was pronounced admirably suited for carrying immigrants, as she had very roomy accommodation, having been built for a troopship. She belonged to Messrs. J. Lidgett and Sons, London. The first port she visited in New Zealand was Lyttleton.
