Echunga
Ship: 1000 tons
Captain:
Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed London 2nd September 1862 - arrived Lyttelton 24th December 1862
The Echunga was a large ship of 1000
tons, but she was not a clipper, her record passage to New Zealand being 103 days to
Lyttleton. This was her first voyage out. She sailed from London on the 10th September,
1862, with 332 immigrants, for Timaru and Lyttleton, and arrived at the latter port on the
ssnd December. At Timaru it was discovered that no provision had been made for their
reception, although the Government knew as far back as May that a large batch of
immigrants would arrive about that time. The barracks, which should have been ready, were
only just started. When the first batch of passengers landed, in heavy rain, they found
men preparing to erect some tents, and the voyagers had to lay down and rest on the grass,
as not even straw had been provided. The consequence was that a large number refused to go
ashore, and demanded to be taken to Lyttleton, as their contract tickets were made out for
Canterbury, and did not bind them to land at Timaru. Four deaths occurred during the
voyage.
