The Janet Court

The Janet Court.

The 996-ton ship Janet Court, belonging to the Patrick Henderson Line, made only two trips to New Zealand, but she brought a large number of immigrants. In the year 1874 she brought 395 people from Glasgow to Port Chalmers. Leaving Glasgow on February 25, 1874, she took her final departure from Rothesay Bay on March 2, crossed the Equator on March 29, sighted the Snares on May 25, made the Otago Heads, but was blown off, and eventually made port on March 29—93 days out. Captain Crawford was in command. On February 19, 1890, she arrived at Wellington, being 104 days out from the Old Country, and after landing passengers and cargo she went on to Port Chalmers, for which port she had more passengers and the balance of her cargo. On this occasion she arrived at Port Chalmers on March 15, 1890 Captain Hewer was in command.
