    Voyage of the Adamant, 1874
    Voyage of the Adamant, 1874
    by Edwin White
    Rough transcript of a journal written during the Adamant's voyage from Plymouth to Nelson, New Zealand, May 1874 (awaiting OCR transcription). My great-grandfather James George Scarlett was a boy of 12 on this ship, emigrating with his siblings and parents Daniel and Harriet Scarlett. Sadly, their youngest daughter aged 1 died of bronchitis on the voyage and was consigned to the Deep. The Scarlett family was one of the founding pioneer settlors of Karamea, in the remote north-west of the South Island. It was a life of hardship. (Notes by Roger Clist, Sep 2011)
