Ship: 737 tons

Sailed London February 8th 1873 - arrived Wellington May 20th 1873
The Wild Duck was charted in "the
sixties" by Shaw Savill & Co and ran almost exclusively to Wellington, with one
trip to Auckland and one to Nelson. Immediately following the voyage to Nelson, she
proceeded to Timaru where she was nearly capsized during a heavy gale. This voyage out in
1873 was her last to the colony.
