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 August 1859
22nd. This was a heavy morning. The wind and sea continuing very boisterous. We had some showers and a little sleet something like February in old England be (?) would now be the most comfortable place if we liked rocking.
