The Zealandia, a fine iron
clipper-built ship of 1116 tons, was built for the Shaw, Savill Co, in 1869 ande made her
maiden voyage to Lytteton. The Zealandia was a beautiful ship, specially designed for
carrying passengers. Her saloon was spacious and lofty. and the cabins were unusually
large and well ventilated, having extra large portholes to them. The decoration of the
saloon was extremely chaste. She had some special cabins for families, and a ladies
saloon. The second cabin was on deck and the berths were larger then usual and well
lighted. The Zealandia, after completing 31 voyages to New Zealand, was sold to the
Russians. She was stranded in 1911, and sold to a firm in Nova Scotia.
