Passenger arrivals at Port Chalmers, New Zealand, 1848-1851 www.ngaiopress.com/all-a-f.htm 1. This consolidated list includes enlargements and corrections from the Otago Settlers' Museum list, plus other corrections and additions I have received directly from ship descendants. (More corrections are welcomed!) 2. People in this list are generally those who landed 'live' in Dunedin, and do not include deaths which occurred during the voyage. An exception to this is the Mooltan information, which does include those who died on board the ship (marked +), and also passengers who sailed on in the Mooltan to Wellington (marked *). 3. Dates are in dd/mm/yyyy format. 4. Names underlined and coloured red are family members who travelled on the ship Please don't ask us about Port Chalmers passenger arrivals later than 1851. Try Australia and New Zealand Passenger Lists. It's not our area of expertise. Also, please don't ask what individual passengers did after they arrived In New Zealand. All we know about them is in these lists.

www.ngaiopress.com/wickliff.htmJohn Wickliffe and Philip Laing were the first two ships The first two ships for the Otago Settlement were the John Wickliffe and the Philip Laing. The John Wickliffe, an older ship of 662 tonnes, had a reputation for speed, and indeed her 100 day passage was the fastest of any of the New Zealand Company ships. She was the supply ship for the advance guard of settlers, and carried only 90 passengers. She departed from Gravesend on 24 November, 1847, but was damaged by rough weather in the English channel and finally set sail on 14 December, after repairs at Portsmouth. Captain William Cargill, leader of the Otago settlement, was a passenger. The Philip Laing, 547 tonnes, left the Firth of Clyde on 27 November, 1847. She carried the spiritual leader of the settlement, Dr Thomas Burns, as well as the first schoolmaster, James Blackie.
