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.

29 July 1859
29th. A very pleasant morning but we are making poor headway on
account of the very light breeze until bedtime when it improved to
about 10 knots per hour for a short time. At about 11 o'clock a smart
shower of rain came and a dead calm ensued.
