Ngahau
The Ngahau was built in 1921 at Omaha by Davey Darroch in 1921. Ngahau spent most of her life north of Auckland. In 1933 during the depression her owners, Winstones, chartered her out to the Carey Bros who sent her south to make money. Ngahau spent a big portion of her South Island time transporting sheep from Little Akaloa to Kaiapoi. She was also engaged on a general cargo run which saw her go as far afield as Bluff with a generator. Ngahau made several trips to Wellington, picking up timber from Marlborough Sounds on the way south. Ngahau was the last commercial vessel to cross the Sumner bar, transporting a boiler for the Davis Gelatine Company in 1934. Ngahau left Kaiapoi for the last time in March 1936, returning to Auckland after delivering cargo to Wellington.
After several years as a barge, Ngahau ended her days on the beach at Houhora.
