Otaki (1875 ship)

The Otaki was a sailing ship of the New Zealand Shipping Company. It was built in 1875 by Palmers at Jarrow-on-Tyne, England.

She made 15 voyages out and home altogether, and, with the exception of three passages outwards, she never exceeded 100 days. Her runs to Auckland (three) were all under the average.

She once made a run from Port Chalmers to London in 1877, taking only 63 days to make the trip.

The Otaki "was a fast sailer, but generally was unfortunate with the weather".
