St. Lawrence
Ship: 1094 tons
Captain: Johnson RNR
Surgeon Superintendent: Dr. Joseph T Pattisson
Sailed Plymouth 22 May 1874 - arrived Lyttelton 30 August 1874
St Lawrence, 1094 tons, Captain
Johnston (sic), RNR, sailed 19th May, arrived 29th August, bringing 412
immigrants. This ship was chartered by the New Zealand Shipping Company and aarrived on
the same day as the Cathcart. A vast difference of the build of this vessel and
the Cathcart was quite apparent when they dropped anchor, the former being a
modern clipper and the latter one of the old freight-built ships used in by-gone days for
the conveyance of troops. The bulwarks were nine feet high. The immigrants came out in
charge of Mrs McPherson; the surgeon-superintendent being Dr Pattison (sic).
