The 'Cuba' sailed with a surveyors' team headed by Captain William Mein Smith, R.A. on 15 September 1839 for New Zealand. She did not sail direct to Port Nicholson, but made landfall first on 23 December 1839 at Kaipara, then entered Port Hardy on 28 December, and then visited Kapiti, before at last being directed to Port Nicholson where they found Colonel Wakefield's settlement. The ship arrived outside Port Nicholson on the 3rd of January 1840 and entered the Harbour on the 4th, coming ashore at Petone, then known as Britannia. She returned to England in early 1840.
