Nagle Cove (Anchorage)


Once a shipyard utilising the extensive Kauri forest, which graced the surrounding slopes. The 409 tonne Stirlingshire was built here in 1849, being the largest sailing shop launched in NZ at a cost of £5,000. In 1850, this 3 masted barque made a record breaking voyage from Launceston to Sydney, a distance of 550 miles in 67 hours. Nagle Cove is now privately owned farm with no traces of either the forest of shipyard.
