Mic Mac
John Jones bought the schooner Mic Mac in 1836 to service his whale stations on the south coast of the South Island.
On 17 March, Mic Mac, commanded by Captain James Bruce, delivered William Isaac Haberfield to Otago. Haberfield settled at Moeraki where he lived on a native diet of fish, kaka, pigeons, and fern root whenever his supplies from ships run out. Moeraki remained Haberfield’s home for the rest of his life.
Mic Mac sailed back to Sydney, arriving 04 February 1837 with a cargo of oil and passengers Dr Stewart and Mrs Byrne.
