| Such was the rush of people to emigrate to New Zealand that they could not all be accommodated on the | |||||
| ships already chartered by the company, and a additional vessel put on the berth to take those who had | |||||
| been shut out of previous ships was the Bolton. She left Gravesend on the 19th November, three days later | |||||
| she was off the Isle of Wight and took just under a month to reach Santa Cruz, Teneriffe where she made a | |||||
| call. She was a slow craft and didn't reached Port Nicholson until 30th April 1840. All the Bolton's passengers | |||||
| were landed at Thorndon Beach, and the greater part of them lived in very primitive shanties known as | |||||
| Bolton Row until they could build themselves something more substantial. Among the passengers were the | |||||
| Rev's J. F. Churton and J. G. Butler, the second and third clergymen to be sent out by the company. | |||||
