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.

6 August 1859
6th. A beautiful morning with a cheerful breeze and from a favourable
quarter making our sailing very agreeable. Passengers are now asking
how long shall she be in making to the Cape and completing our
journey. Many are becoming impatient to be there.
