Zealandia
Ship: 1116 tons
Captain: Henry Rose
Surgeon Superintendent: Dr Wood
Sailed London 26th August 1869 - arrived Lyttelton 20th November 1869
The Zealandia, a fine iron
clipper-built ship of 1116 tons, was built for the Shaw, Savill Co, in 1869 and made her
maiden voyage to Lytteton. The Zealandia was a beautiful ship, specially designed for
carrying passengers. Her saloon was spacious and lofty and the cabins were unusually large
and well ventilated, having extra large port-holes to them. The decoration of the saloon
was extremely chaste. She had some special cabins for families, and a ladies saloon. The
second cabin was on deck and the berths were larger then usual and well lighted. The
Zealandia, after completing 31 voyages to New Zealand, was sold to the Russians. She was
stranded in 1911, and sold to a firm in Nova Scotia.
