From the “Auckland Star” of 4th Sept., 1926.

“An announcement was made to-day that the passenger steamer service between Onerahi and Auckland by the Northern Steamship Company will be discontinued after September 23rd, owing to the falling off in patronage due to railway competition. The steamer Ngapuhi makes her last trip from Auckland to Onerahi on the evening of Wednesday, September 22nd.”
