Booth, Thomas. Papers, 1857 - 1859. Auckland War Memorial Museum Library. MS 2002/56.
My gg grandparents, Samuel and Elizabeth Harris travelled to NZ in 1859 on the clipper ship the Tornado. This blog contains the story of that journey and the people on it, told mainly through the diaries of Alexander Campbell, Thomas Booth and a "Glasgow Emigrant" as well as other information I have stumbled over from time to time.

22 July 1859
July 22. The former part of this day was fine. Afterwards showers
came, the wind strong and the sea running high. A sail was seen early
this morning as far as the eye could see but not being in our course,
we did not see it again.
