Matoaka (1853 ship)
The ''Matoaka'' was a full rigged 1092 ton wooden New Brunswick ship built in 1853 for Willis and Gann Co. She was sold to Shaw Savill Co by 1859.〔English shipping, Lyttelton Times, Volume XII, Issue 709, 24 August 1859, Page 4〕 Between 1859 and 1869 she made eight voyages to New Zealand. Her fastest run from Bristol to Lyttelton, New Zealand was 82 days in 1862. On 13 May 1869 she left Lyttelton for London under Captain Alfred Stevens with 45 passengers and 32 crew but was never seen again.〔http://nzetc.victoria.ac.nz/tm/scholarly/tei-Bre01Whit-t1-body-d102.html〕 In 1865 she was classed as 1322 tons.
==First voyage to New Zealand==
The ''Matoaka'' first sailed with about 100 passengers from London to New Zealand under Captain Stevens on 13 June 1859 on the clipper route. She arrived at Wellington on 13 September and then sailed north to Auckland on 17 September 1859. Off Castlepoint she ran into a northerly gale which split several of her sails and forced her to hove-to for twelve hours.〔Shipping Intelligence. Port of Auckland, Daily Southern Cross, Volume XVI, Issue 1255, 27 September 1859, Page 3〕
The migrants on board the ''Matoaka'' included Thomas Ball. His family and a group of some 80 migrants he had gathered together had arranged settle at Mangonui under Government sponsored land grants.〔http://www.teara.govt.nz/en/biographies/2b4/ball-thomas〕 On arrival the ''40 acre men'' as the land grant migrants were know found that the Government had changed its regulations and instead of being allocated land they had to bid for it. This caused an outcry.〔Auckland monthly summary, From the 25th September to the 25th October, Daily Southern Cross, Volume XVI, Issue 1263, 25 October 1859, Page 3〕
