Please buy my book on the ship John Temperley which is now published and ready to go. It is called "The John Temperley: New Zealand Immigration Ship 1865-1866," published by Rock Your Boat Publishing.
The story of the John Temperley:
"Of the female immigrants, “ten were prostitutes and four ballet dancers.”
"The scandalous newspaper reports told of wild single women on board the immigrant ship John Temperley. But what really happened on the voyage? Were the women named as “prostitutes” and “ballet dancers” really that bad?"
"This book explores the John Temperley’s journey to Auckland in 1865 and the notorious voyage to Lyttelton in 1866, using first hand accounts and official documents. It delves into the lives of the single women on board and uncovers the joys, sadness and tragedies of their lives."

The Ship Zealandia: Immigration Ship 1869-1902
Our new book is called: "Shaw, Savill & Albion Co.'s Zealandia: Immigration Ship 1869-1902" by Marolyn Diver and Belinda Lansley.
It is finished and is available on Trade Me right now (July 2014). If you live overseas it is available on Amazon in your respective country. Please buy it to find out more about your ancestral ship! There are details of the journeys inside, passenger lists and biographies, and what it was like to travel on the Zealandia. When you buy our books it helps us to research, write and fund more of these books, thereby preserving New Zealand history in print.
The blurb for our book is:
NOTE: Please make sure you have the correct ship before buying as we can't give refunds. There was another ship called Zealandia which ran from 1858 to 1867. We have not written about this ship, only the later ship which ran from 1869 -1902.
Here is the beautiful and elegant cover design by Strawberrymouse.

The blurb for our book is:
"Over the span of 34 years Zealandia successfully
ferried over 4000 immigrants, tourist and gentry alike to New Zealands
fair shores. With 32 voyages completed she was one of Shaw, Savill
& Co.'s most successful immigration ships. But her career was by no
means spotless. Launched under the dark cloud of scandal and rumour
caused by rival shipping companies, her long successful career was
marred by two major tragedies. A fatal collision with the ship Ellen Lamb, and the tragic death of a well respected Captain during a hurricane.
With the help of shipboard diaries, descendants information and written first hand accounts, the majestic and loyal Zealandia's story is restored and brought back to life."
