The Margaret Galbraith ( or the old "Maggie"as she was familiarly called ) one of Duncan's ships, sailed under the Shaw, Savill flag, and made 21 voyages to the several ports of New Zealand between 1873 and 1900, bringing a very large number of immigrants from London and Glasgow. She was a comparatively small iron vessel of 841 tons. The Margaret Galbraith came to grief in 1905. She sailed from the River Plate for England with a cargo of grain, and on leaving port she stranded and became a total loss on March 27.
