City of Endinburgh
There were three occassions in pre-colonial times that a ship called City of Edinburgh visted New Zealand. The first was in early 1810 when Captain Pattinson brought his charge into the Bay of Islands. Onboard were the four survivors of the Boyd attack. He later left for England via Peru.
Nineteen years later on 29 November 1829, City of Edinburgh, Captain Clendon, sailed into the Bay of Islands on her voyage from Sydney to London.
The third visit by a ship of this name was in 1837 when the Weller Brothers chartered City of Edinburgh at the end of the whaling season to collect the season's oil. When City of Edinburgh called at Otago she was the only vessel there and spent just over two weeks loading her cargo before continuing the voyage to London.
