Opawa Account of Voyage | Passengers for Lyttelton
The voyage from Plymouth to Lyttelton was not without excitement. There
was the usual sea sickness, births, contagious diseases, a man overboard, rough weather
and seas. The Opawa was to have berthed at Timaru but was
unable to get in to the port due to gale force winds. She dropped anchor in Diamond
Harbour at 10 am on 7 December 1878.
