The Queen Bee, a full rigged ship of
726 tons, was one of the earliest vessels to bring out immigrants to New Zealand. Her
first port of call was Dunedin, whaer she arrived in 1866. She was a fine roomy vessel,
with accomodation superior to to many of the ships carrying passengers in the
sixties. She sank on route to Nelson in 1877 after striking Cape Farewell.
