The Marlborough earthquake of 16 October 1848 was felt throughout much of central New Zealand. The limited number of inhabitants at the quake’s epicentre – on the shore of Cloudy Bay – meant no one died in Marlborough, but the ground shaking was very strong and chimneys collapsed. In Wellington, three people were killed.
