The Cashmere, a ship of 640 tons,
brought many of our early settlers to the Dominion. She made five voyages to Auckland, two
to Lyttelton, and one each to nelson and Dunedin. The Cashmere had more comfortable
accomodation for passengers than many other vessels coming out in the 'fifties, and many
of our pioneers selected this ship when making a trip to the Homeland. The Cashmere was
well found and generally had favourable runs out and home.
