Port of Auckland
Arrived June 22- Loch Awe, ship, 1,033 tons, Weir, from London - N.Z. Shipping Co., agents.

The clipper ship Loch Awe, from London arrived in port and anchored in the stream on Monday, June 22. She comes consigned to the New Zealand Shipping Company, and brings a general cargo. The Loch Awe is commanded by Captain Weir, and made the passage in 67 days from land to land [76 days and 6 hour port to port]. This vessel has been much admired during the stay in port. She brought a large number of immigrants to this port, who were landed in good health, very little sea-sickness having occurred on board during the voyage. Complaints were made against the Surgeon-superintendent of the ship Dr. Wylie, by some of the immigrants, which formed the subject of an inquiry here for the members of the Immigration Office. Their report has been sent on to the authorities at Wellington. We learn the Loch Awe had discharged the whole of her general cargo, and has only now on board a quantity of railway iron, when will, on landing that, take in about 600 tons of ballast and sail for San Francisco at an early date. The "Loch Awe" belongs to Messrs. Wilson and Dick, of Glasgow, and was built by Messes Bartley, Curle, and Co. five years ago, receiving the highest classification at Lloyd's. There were two deaths on the passage

The Loch Awe left Gravesend on 6 April 1874 and arrived at Auckland, on on 22 June 1874.
There is a beautiful picture of her in 'White Wings' Vol. 1. page 193. Set a record on the way out. The Loch Awe was a vessel of 1053 tons, commanded by Captain Weir, made a voyage to Waitemata Harbour, Auckland in 76 days and 6 hours (more than 13,000 miles), with Mr Boyd as chief officer. The Loch Awe, with 369 passengers on board, left Gravesend on April 6,1874 at 4 pm. and parted with the pilot on the 9th. ...During one week from the 4th to 10th June the Loch Awe ran the extraordinary distance of 2159 miles, representing an average of 308 miles a day. During the storm on the 15th June the married couples and single girls on board had a very uncomfortable time, and were battened down for two days, but the single men did not suffer that inconvenience. The fast passage was not at all appreciated by the passengers. The Loch Awe left directly for San Francisco. She also made two trips to Lyttelton.

Demise

The Loch Awe, a barque, was sold to a Norwegian firm and renamed the Madura, (owners K.Bruusgaard / Drammen) of 1023 tons and was captured and sunk on 21 May 1917, 50 miles SW Queenstown on a voyage Gulfport for Cardiff with timber, with scuttling charges, not torpedoed. U48 was under command of Kapit�nleutnant Edeling at the time. Source : Der Handelskrieg mit U-Booten, A.Spindler, vol.4.
U48 -213 ft long, maximum surface speed 14kts, could cruise for 7600 miles at 10kts on the surface. Armament 1 x 4.1", 1 x 22pdr, six machine guns and six torpedo tubes. U48 was lost on the Goodwin Sands in WWI 24 November 1917.

Some Scandinavian immigrants settled at Mauriceville in the Wairarapa, with other Danish and Norwegian immigrants. The New Zealand Government had a scheme to bring strong, hardworking immigrants into New Zealand and the Scandinavians were ideal. There was a lot of bush and scrub to clear to create farmland and settlements. Passage to New Zealand was subsidised for many, and land for small holdings was promised. Some of the immigrants like the Jessen family paid their own way, and some went over to the Manawatu area, or Hawkes Bay - for varying reasons.
