Dart
Appearing in New Zealand waters during the prosperous days of flax trading and bay whaling, Dart was working off the coast over the summer of 1830/31.
In 1837, when Henry Freeling arrived at Sydney with a cargo of oil from Weller Brothers shore station in Otago, she had been unable to transport the entire season's catch. As a result the Weller's immediately chartered Dart to fetch the remaining oil, along with a gang of 19 whalers and bring them back to Sydney.
