See SS Kennedy Shipwreck, Wairau River, Marlborough, New Zealand
The SS Kennedywas built in 1864 for the Australian Steam Navigation Co. to ply the Queensland rivers, the company had a change of heart when she ran on to a reef not long after being put into service. This worked out well for Nathaniel Edwards and Co. of Nelson, who were able to purchase her in 1865 as a second ship for their run from Nelson to Hokitika which was booming due to the gold rush. She served in this manner for 54 years.
