Antilla to carry Spain to New Zealand. Regina The Regina was a 174-ton copper-sheathed schooner built at Plymouth in 1841 and owned by Row and Co, London. Chartered by the New Zealand company, she left Plymouth early in April 1841. She sailed under Captain Brouse and was the baggage ship for the Amelia Thompson. She arrived at Port Nicholson on 31 August. After leaving Wellington on 27 September she reached New Plymouth on 3 October. Some of her cargo was land, but the weather forced her to put out to sea. On the evening of 4 November she was driven ashore. No people died. An attempt was made to refloat her but this proved futile and she became too badly damaged by pounding on the rocks. All her cargo was recovered and she was broken up for scrap. Rosanna The Rosanna was a 260-ton copper sheathed sloop built at Stockton and owned by Soames and Co who used it for sailing from London to Bombay. The Rosanna was acquired by the New Zealand Company.

The expedition was led by Herd. On 5 March 1826 the expedition reached Stewart Island, which Herd explored and then dismissed as a possible settlement, before sailing north to inspect land around Otago Harbour. Herd charted both Port Nicholson and Port Otago. In January 1827 Hongi Hika was shot and wounded in a minor engagement. This prompted fears for safety of the Missionaries in Northland. Herd who was at Hokianga, on hearing of this sent a letter to Henry Williams offering a passage to Sydney. Although the offer was not accepted a letter expressing their thanks was published in the Sydney paper. Less than six settlers from the Rosanna eventually settled in Hokianga under the protection of the Ngāpuhi Chief Moetara Motu Tongaporutu. Herd had acquired a block of land for the settlers which was called Herds Point and is now the township of Rawene. Herd and all the settlers returned to Sydney in the Rosanna on 11 February 1827 with the Lambton, The Rosanna sailed for London on 15 June 1827. Four men from the Rosanna returned to New Zealand: Thomas McLean, Benjamin Nesbit, George Nimmo and Colin Gillies. They joined
