Surgeon Superintendent:
Sailed London February 9th  1860 - arrived Lyttelton May 9th 1860

The Gananoque was a smart American ship of 785 tons. She was chartered by the Shaw Savill Co., for two voyages to New Zealand, and sailed from London three years after she was launched at Quebec for Lyttelton. This was in 1860. Leaving London on February 14, with 215 passengers, she covered the distance from the Downs to the Equator in 21 days. She was becalmed a few days in the tropics, and carried fairly strong winds in the Southern Ocean, arriving at Lyttelton on May 9, completing the passage in 85 days.
