- SS Go Ahead was a twin screw-steamer, launched on the afternoon of Saturday 20 April 1867 by Seath and Connell, of Rutherglen, for the Clyde Shipping Company, with a plan to use her in New Zealand coastal trading. She had 30, or 35 hp (26 kW), high pressure engines, and tubular boilers from Campbell & Son's foundry. Go-a-head left Glasgow on 10 May and sailed to Melbourne, arriving on 2 November. An attempt to sell her failed, so on 2 December 1867 she left Hobson's Bay with a full cargo for Westport (then called Buller). Another 12 days sailing took her to Buller, where she briefly grounded on the North Spit. This time she was advertised by Wellington agents, A. P. Stuart & Co, the sale notice saying she had, "a draught of 4 feet of water, will carry 1000 sheep. Highly suited for trading between this and the West Coast." The "highly suited" and "Must be sold, owner leaving the colony" claims may not have been true; she used her engines to get from Buller to Wellington, but, "finding steam could not be maintained with the bad coals she had on board, she ran for Nelson for better fuel". She finally reached Wellington on 4 January 1868. Initially she was to sail for Napier, but additions and repairs, apparently amidst some delay, strife over payments and a failure to sell her, left her lying at Queen's wharf for months. A trial trip to Evans Bay showed the boiler was too small. There was a rumour of her carrying cattle from Whanganui to the West Coast and she was advertised many times, before going with Captain Mundle to Auckland in August. (en)
