The Bulwark was a large first-class
modern ship of 1332 tons, built at New Brunswick in 1862 for Shaw Savill Co, and was
fitted up with all the latest improvements. She made one voyage only to New Zealand. She
sailed from London on February 27, 1872, carrying a general cargo, including 450 tons of
railway iron, and arrived at Auckland on October 1, 1872, by which time many people having
relatives and friends on board had given up all hope of seeing the ship in port. She left
London with eleven saloon and eighteen second class passengers, who met with an experience
seldom encountered by immigrants leaving the Old Country for New Zealand. Captain Kelly
was in command.
