The John Temperley: New Zealand Immigration Ship 1865-1866

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.
