The World 1894-5

Volume records Lingard-Monk's voyage around the world with his second wife Ellen Heburn. The couple visited Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and North America during the documented period of 8 November 1894 and 11 May 1895. Vessels travelled on include the P&O SS 'Himalaya' from Tilbury to Sydney, 'Waihora' from Melbourne to Auckland, and the 'Arawa' from Auckland to Honolulu via Apia. The narrative details shipboard activities, the daily life on board ship, weather patterns, and the progress of the vessel in detail. Includes a preface, and annotated chapter headings and corrections in pencil. Places visited in New Zealand include Christchurch, Wellington, Rotorua, Taupō, and Auckland.
