While bound for Adelaide, Australia from Lyttelton, New Zealand, the ship was struck by a severe storm on 24 June 1878 and was run on to Waitarere Beach on the west coast of North Island to give the crew and passengers a better chance of survival. As a result, no lives were lost.
Two attempts were made to refloat the vessel but she was eventually abandoned.
Note. There may have been other owners or managers after the Bombay Iron Ship Co. It is only known that Stephens & Sons were owners by 1875.
