New Zealand Company ships Hobart as a store ship for the New Zealand Company with 2 settlers. The "Platina" also shipped Governor Hobson's house, which the Company had assumed would be erected in Wellington. While at Hobart the "Platina" received orders from the British Government to take the house to Auckland. Much to the annoyance of the Wellington settlers, after unloading the New Zealand Company goods at Wellington the "Platina" sailed for Auckland, becoming what is thought to be the first European vessel to anchor in Waitemata harbor. The "Platina" was acquired by Gillespy of London in 1848 and sailed from London to Coquimbo
