Such was the rush of people to
emigrate to New Zealand that they could not all be accommodated on the ships
already chartered by the company, and a additional vessel put on the berth to
take those who had been shut out of previous ships was the Bolton. She left
Gravesend on the 19th November, three days later she was off the Isle of Wight
and took just under a month to reach Santa Cruz, Teneriffe where she made a
call. She was a slow craft and didn't reached Port Nicholson until 30th April
1840. All the Bolton's passengers were landed at Thorndon Beach, and the greater
part of them lived in very primitive shanties known as "Bolton Row" until they
could build themselves something more substantial. Among the passengers were the
Rev's J. F. Churton and J. G. Butler, the second and third clergymen to be sent
out by the company. Source: White Wings, Sir Henry Brett. |
