Craig and was renamed Joseph Craig. She sailed in Craig’s Trans-Tasman Trades until 1914 when she was sold to Huddart Parker Ltd. Sailing for Auckland she ran aground on Rough Rock in a squall and was towed into port by the tug Awhina, then discharged and docked. She sailed for Hokianga and was then wrecked in a squall leaving the harbour.
