Magnet (March 1840)

The Magnet brought cattle, flour, sugar, tea, pork, beef, biscuits and rum as well as 12 families (approximately 38 passengers including women and children).

The families had been hired in Sydney, Australia by John Jones to create a settlement at Waikouaiti for the purpose of growing food and breeding animals for his whalers. A Thomas Jones (brother) was the manager but, although he had a good rapport with the local Maori, the English workers mainly from the south of England, did not and many returned to Australia.

The master of the ship was Capt. Bruce (refer Crew List).
