Description


Grafton (ship)

Grafton was a 56-ton schooner sailing out of Sydney during the 1860s that was wrecked on 3 January 1864, in the north arm of Carnley Harbour, Auckland Island, one of the New Zealand Subantarctic Islands; nearly 480 kilometres (300 mi) south of the South Island. Her castaway crew waited a year for a ship to come to their rescue, which, it soon became apparent, would not come.
