The name Queen, both by itself and in combination with other words, has always been popular on the sea, and in the history of sailing ships in New Zealand there have been some handsome bearers of the name. In going through my records I find about twenty "Queens" that have traded out to New Zealand, and must have brought many hundreds of people in the early days of the colony. In previous articles I have dealt with the Queen Bee, Queen of Beauty, and May Queen, and now add others to the list. Many of the Queens came out under charter to the Shaw, Savill Co.
