82 of the 222 passengers on the 1,234 ton sailing vessel 'War
Spirit',
that departed from Gravesend- London on the 12th March 1863,
were destined for Puhoi. Two babies were born to them on the way and
sadly Lorenz TURNWALD was injured in an accident during a storm in the
Tasman Sea and died. The ship arrived in Auckland on 27th June 1863
and the 83 reached Puhoi by sailing cutter and finally Maori canoes
2 days later on the 29th June 1863.
|
Time at sea -
The 107 days was considered a fairly fast passage.
