It's a pity many of the surrounding buildings have gone, Cargill's monument is still there though. The area is now called "The Exchange" as it was once the site of Dunedin's stock Exchange.

Looks like the vessel is on the southwest end of Quarantine Island (St Martins) in the middle of the Otago Harbour. At the top right is the Flagstaff (Tide and Timeball) above the port, and Goat Island behind the ship

I've found a reference to her in "White Wings" on the NZETC website www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Bre01Whit-t1-body-d50.html... the Alcestis, a smart little iron barque of less than 400 tons, was built at Sunderland in 1868, and owned by R. H. Penney. She was chartered by the N.Z. Shipping Co. Early in 1882 the barque was purchased by Messrs. Stone Bros., merchants, of Auckland, and for several years later continued in the London and New Zealand trade. She was later employed in the intercolonial service. THE BARQUE ALCESTIS AT DUNEDIN. the Alcestis had a very rough trip on her voyage to the Bluff in 1885. During one severe gale heavy seas broke on board, smashed the deckhouse and fittings and washed nearly everything movable overboard, including a considerable deck cargo. In 1888, twelve years after she was launched she ran from the Lizard to the Solanders in 93 days. The passages outwards by the Alcestis were:— TO AUCKLAND. Sailed.Arrived.Captain.Days. *Nov. 7, '81Mar. 25, '82Payne— TO WELLINGTON. Nov. 7, '81Mar. 6, '82Payne117 TO DUNEDIN. June 27Oct. 10, '88Norris106 TO BLUFF.

This is a wonderful shot NLNZ, thank you for sharing and to madbushfarm for the information. Otago harbour looks rugged in those shots!

This is Deborah Bay. I'm still looking into the ships that are named. The Don Juan was definitely sent there as her final resting place.
Liz said:
Here's some more information; The Don Juan had been renamed the Rosalia. She entered Port Chalmers in November of 1874. It turned out she was a literal death trap. She had been ordered to make certain repairs and then had changed hands. A new Crew was taken on and an attempt made to leave the harbour. She was stopped at the heads. The vessel was condemned as unseaworthy and later taken to Deborah Bay to be broken up. She is referred to in White Wings as being 'an ex-slaver' www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Bre02Whit-t1-body-d2-d3-d4... The Otago Daily Times also gives an account of the Don Juan's attempt to leave the the harbour. Article dated 15 October 1875 www.nzetc.org/tm/scholarly/tei-Bre02Whit-t1-body-d2-d3-d4...
