The Lady Barkley had an interesting history. From the private yacht of Governor Barkley, Australia, she became a gunboat for the New Zealand Government and operated in the Maori Wars on the Waikato River. Later she was bought by Pilot Cross, Nelson, and operated as a passenger and cargo vessel between Nelson and Golden Bay. She was later changed from a paddle steamer to screw.
