The Voyages of the Gananoque: New Zealand Immigration Ship 1860-1864

The Gananoque was a fine immigration ship that brought hundreds of passengers to New Zealand in the 1860s. From onboard flirtations and rat and maggot pea soup, to the devastation of a lost crew member, this is a fascinating account of the ship's voyages.

This insightful book covers all four journeys with a never before seen partial passenger list for the journey to Port Chalmers in 1863. It also includes biographies of Gananoque passengers and quotes from Alfred William Craymer's diary, a wonderfully funny and entertaining ship's diary.
