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.

25 June 1859
25th. This morning the weather is very fine and we are bounding away
before a merry breeze at about ten knots per hour and sails very
steady. Some appear in high spirits from the fact that we are getting
on so well.
