The Canterbury Settlement, New Zealand - sketch on board the "Randolph" Emigrant Ship, 1850. Colonists depart from the East India Dock on the Thames in London: '...cabin passengers - purchasers of land, and their families, who have helped to form the plan of the colony, and are going out as leaders...they are distinguished from the mass of emigrating colonists...by high personal character...they are not driven from the mother-country...but are attracted to the colony by the prospects which its singular organization holds out...Later in the evening dancing took place on the upper deck of the Randolph, to the music of the band of the Coldstream Guards...[the passengers displayed] a manly and dignified cheerfulness suited to the occasion, and to the character of the English, now the only nation in the world capable of planning and accomplishing such enterprises'. From "Illustrated London News", 1850.
