Adamant
Barque: 815 tons
Captain: Grant
Surgeon Superintendent: J Neumerat
Sailed London May 6th 1874 - arrived Nelson August 8th 1874
The Adamant, made one rather fast
passage when bound for Nelson in 1874, having rounded Tasmania on the 79th day out,
which was considered very good for this old ship. Here she met with strong easterly
winds until nearing the New Zealand coast and did not reach Nelson until
twelve days later. This was the record passage for the Adamant. She brought
out 340 Government immigrants on this occasion, far too many for the acomodation provided.
During the voyage there were twelve deaths. On August 8th, 1924, at Westport, about one
hundred pioneers and their descendants celebrated the 50th anniversary of their arrival at
Nelson in the Adamant. many of the passengers by the ship on this occasion were destined
for Westport and other parts of the West Coast. The Mayor presided, and gave the pioneers
a hearty welcome, while Mr J Scanlon spoke on behalf of the citizens of Westport. Among
the pioneers present were:- Mesdames Roberts, Bowden, Taylor, Damms, Hansen, Allen,
Lineham, McCullum, Ferguson, Clark and Messrs S Young, Clark, W Scarlett, G Welch,
Solomon, and C Lineham.
