The Hyderabad was bound from Lyttelton to Adelaide when she became caught in a severe storm on 24 June, 1878. Her captain (a man named Holmwood), ran the ship aground on Waitarere beach to increase the chance of survival for passengers and crew. No lives were lost in the wreck and after three subsequent attempts to refloat the ship, she eventually caught fire and was abandoned.
