RMS RANGITIKI
1928 ~ 1962
                    Ephemera

 


Much of the history of any organisation, commercial or otherwise, may be traced through the paper left behind long after that organisation's demise.  And so it is with the New Zealand Shipping Company and one of its most famous vessels, the mv Rangitiki.  The links below offer a representative selection of ephemera relating to the Company and the ship that has come into our possession over the past several months, and from these documents and bits and bobs, one can readily feel the sense of purpose in providing the Company's customers with the very best of service, and how a well organized shipping company operated. 

The material included here is presented in no particular order ~ please do not look for chronological logic.

 

 

Among several items of interest to this site acquired over the past several months, I now have available a 1929 dated pamphlet which covers the Third Class passenger accommodations and fares, and a 1929 Fare List with all terms and conditions and route map.
Images of these to be uploaded once I have bought a replacement scanner that will cooperate with the XP operating system.
