The clipper ship Lancashire Witch was a very large, fine vessel
which ferried four loads of immigrants to New Zealand. The "Witch"
made two journeys to the Port of Lyttelton and two to the North
Island, leaving many amazing stories in its wake. Waves like
mountains, frightening snow and hail, and 28 tragic deaths. "Truly
this is an ill-fated ship," wrote diarist David Carr. Using ship
diaries and official documentation, the fascinating story of the
Lancashire Witch has been retold. It includes passenger biographies
and the fate of the ship's own "Lancashire Witch," possibly the
most hopeless female immigrant to ever land in New Zealand.
