St Patrick
Late in 1824, St Patrick, Captain Florence, arrived at the Bay of Islands from Chile. Looking to trade for spars, St Patrick headed south to the Thames and while there Christian mission Thomas Kendall arrived in his schooner Industry. Captain Florence convinced Kendall to sail with them back to Valparaiso where they were in need of a clergyman. Kendall had by now fallen from grace with the Bay of Islands mission community.
Back in the Bay of Islands, Kendall and his family boarded St Patrick and on 03 February 1825, they sailed from New Zealand for ever.
St Patrick did make one more visit, in April 1826, this time under Captain Peter Dillon. After three weeks trading for spars Dillon sailed St Parick for India via the Pacific Islands.
