Mazeppa was a USA schooner.
In 1844, it was described: The "Mazeppa"
- The new three-topsail schooner Mazeppa, the property of Mr Milne and which
was built by Mr Milne, and which was built by Mr Lowe, at the William River.
Has now nearly a full cargo on board, and will sail for the Bay of Islands and
Auckland on Sunday next. The Mazeppa is a fine vessel, well calculated
either for the New Zealand trade, or for cruising among the islands. Her
dimensions are 107 fee overall, 20 feet beam, depth of hold 11 feet 9 inches.
The cabins are handsomely fitted up with cedar, and are capacious; the fore
cabin or saloon measures 14 feet in length, in which 14 berths are
constructed; and the after or ladies' cabin measures about 13 feet, in which
are sliding bulkheads to afford an opportunity of altering it into two, in
the event of such being required, leaving space in the whole for eight
berths. There is also a roundhouse upon deck aft, which is converted into six
state rooms. |
