Nimrod
A whale ship called Nimrod, Captain White, arrived in Sydney in March 1833 with 100 ton of sperm whale oil. Two months later she left for the whaling grounds again, this time under Captain McAuliffe.
Nimrod’s New Zealand connection was through the Weller brothers, when they sent her to Otago in September 1836 to collect a whaling gang and the remainder of the oil they’d taken while there. On 02 November, Nimrod left New Zealand with 105 tuns of oil and thirty one men.
