May Queen
Barque: 736 tons
Captain: Leslie
Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed London 24th August 1871 - arrived Otago November 15th 1871
The May Queen was a pretty little
barque, and very popular with passengers. Although only 736 tons register she made
excellent passages to the several ports. After making sixteen voyages to New Zealand she
came to grief at Lyttelton in 1888. She ran to Dunedin from 1871 until 1876, under charter
to the Shaw Saville Company, and also made three voyages to Auckland, two to Lyttelton,
two to Nelson and one to Napier. The may Queen was wrecked at Lyttelton in 1888, while in
the command of Captain Colville, who made six voyages in the ship.
