The Maroro was a three masted auxiliary, schnooner-rigged scow built in Whangaroa in 1904 she was owned by the Maroro Shipping Company
At 4.10am on October 24th 1927 the schnooer Maroro stranded itself inside the Blackhead Reef, near Porangahau. Luckily all hands were saved but her owners considered the task of refloating the vessel to be hopeless. The vessel was badly damaged and on November 23rd the Maroro was abandoned to the underwriters, eventually surrending to the elements and becoming a total wreck.
