Summary

New dock, Port Adelaide with the "Waimate" at anchor. A fine iron clipper, she was launched from Blumer's Yard at Sunderland in 1874, and was considered the number one ship of the New Zealand Shipping Company's fleet. After a distinguished career she was sold in 1896 to the Russians and renamed Valkyrian. Sadly, in 1899 she sailed from Newcastle, N.S.W., with a coal cargo for Iquique, Chile, and was never heard of again.
