My father travelled on TSS captain cook in 1955 from New York to Glasgow.Hi Barrie, sailed from Glasgow 6th Oct? arrived Wellington mid/late Nov 1955 where I turned 15. Went on to Tokoroa where my dad had a house & job waiting. Our family migrated to NZ from Gourock Scotland so we were passengers. We lived about 1 mile upstream from the Cloch Lighthouse. Had a pretty rough trip through the Irish Sea & accross the Atlantic till the Carribean then ok to Wellington.
