The Gananoque was ship of 785 tons which was launched in Quebec about 1857.[1] It made four journeys to New Zealand in the 1860s under contract of the provincial governments. It was first rigged as a clipper ship and in the 1870s was then rigged as a barque, before it sunk in the 1880s.
Service life
Trips to New Zealand
The ship was chartered by Shaw, Savill and Co. on four journeys from London to New Zealand as follows:
Leaving London on 9 February 1860, arriving Lyttelton on 9 May 1860.[2] Leaving London on 7 July 1861, arriving in Auckland on 18 October 1861.[3] Leaving London on 7 December 1862, arriving in Port Chalmers, Otago on 12 March 1863.[4] Leaving London on 16 May 1864, arriving at Port of Bluff on 5 September 1864.[5]
The first three voyages to New Zealand had a lot of government immigrants on board and the fourth journey was solely a cargo trip.
