PASSENGER LIST "ZEALANDIA" from the Lyttelton Times, Wednesday 22 Sep 1858
The Zealandia came to anchor in this harbour yesterday morning, being the
98th day from the Downs. As will be seen on inspection of her list of passengers
given above, she has a full cargo of immigrants, numbering 399 of all ages and sexes,
of whom 148 are children and infants. With officers and crew the total number of
souls on board was 444. The clean and comfortable condition in which this large
number of people have arrived in the Zealandia speaks highly for the assiduity of the
surgeon superintendent , Dr Willis, a relation of the owners, who we believe has
brought into use here the experience of several previous voyages; as well as adding
to the high character of Capt. Foster, already well known in the New Zealand trade.
The Zealandia is a new ship, now on her first voyage, and is expressly adapted
for the passenger trade, having a height and width which give ample space in the
cuddy and afford room for ventilation etc below. Her breadth has also enabled the
excellent plan to be carried into effect of fitting the bunks in the steerage two
feet from instead of close up to the side of the ship, an arrangement which offers
many evident advantages. The Government immigrants are of average appearance, and
consist, as may be seen above, of a pretty equal balance of the sexes. They are
landed in good health and spirits. Dr Willis reports that in addition to the fatal
cases mentioned in the report, the sickness on board was slight, and such as strict
attention could overcome. A rash looking like but differing in its character from
measles, from which about twenty-five of the children suffered more or less, was the
only approach to a contagious disorder. The passage out was remarkably pleasant; its only
fault being the unusual one of an insufficiency of wind.
