I was taken to NZ from England on the maiden voyage of the Hinemoa -at the age of 3 years. M father Dr Thomas Garland was taking the family of 5 children to start his new job as Director of Public Health in Wellington. I remember when others had their first sight of NZ and I was lifted up to look out of a port hole but was disappointed as all I could see was the sea. I was hoping to find out the date the boat was wrecked in Cook Strait as I remember it was on a reef out at sea years later. From Tanya Garland
