Nimroud
Many of our early settlers came to
Auckland by the ship Nimroud, a vessel of just over 1000 tons, chartered by Willis, Gann
and Co., which made three voyages out from London in the 'sixties. In the following year
(1864) the Nimroud was again in the Waitemata, this time in the command of Captain
Oughton. The ship left the Downs on August 12, 1864, and arrived in Auckland Harbour on
December 17, having been 126 days on the passage. When running down her easting she
encountered terrific gales. On October 30 and 31 she was hove-to under close- reefed
topsails, and during this time she was struck by a heavy sea that filled the decks and
shifted the cargo. On the 29th of the same month many large icebergs were passed. On
November 1 a tremendous sea swept over the ship, flooding the decks and doing much damage
on deck. The Nimroud was in Auckland for two months, and then "cleared for
Guam."
