The Canterbury, a beautiful clipper
ship of 1242 tons, built in 1874 for Parick Henderson by Robert Duncan, sailed the seas
for many years, and during the seventies and eighties brought thousands of immigrants to
New Zealand. She was one of the fastest sailors and most comftable ship afloat, and made
some remarkable runs both out and home.
