• Notes

  The following is a brief account of the voyage of the Ionic from London to Auckland in 1884, with 3 members of the NIETH family. The ship continued on to Wellington on 15 August, arriving 17 August, and departed for Lyttelton on 20 August, arriving on 21 August, before the Nieth family members were discharged with other immigrants. THE IONIC The s.s. Ionic, which arrived as we were going to press on the 4th August, had a most uneventful passage. She left London on June 18, and took her final departure from Plymouth the next day, fine and clear weather prevailing. Called at Teneriffe on the 25th, and, after taking in coal, left again same day, and with the exception of three days dirty weather when off the Cape of Good Hope (passed July 10), fine weather favoured the ship, and good onward progress was made, the best day's work done being 336 knots. Called at Hobart on the 29th July, and after landing passengers and taking in a further supply of coal, she resumed her voyage for Auckland on the 30th. Very fine weather prevailed thence till arrival in port. There was no sickness during tho passage, and Dr. Philson, after making the usual inspection, presented Captain Cameron with a clean bill of health. The lonic's passage from Gravesend occupied 46 days, the actual steaming time being 43 days 20 hours. The following are the names of her officers:? Commander, J. G. Cameron; Chief Engineer, W. O. Purvis; Surgeon, S. A. Patrick: Purser, G. Row. Source: Auckland Star, 16 August 1884, Page 5.
