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.

9 August 1859
9th. A fine morning but a contrary wind which improved towards night
and at bedtime the sea was rather heavy. We have had a few spies of
the winged tribe which have overed about this 2 days. They are said to
be from the Cape of Good Hope and that they go more than a thousand
miles away.
