Many people have helped me to one degree or another in
building this website. Some by sending me pictures or anecdotal copy,
newspaper clippings, etc. about the ship or my father, some by giving me
information regarding the Rangitiki's movements, others by allowing me to
link to their websites or to quote from other sources, and still
others, in addition to my wife Kim, and my children Roger and Imogen, by their unending support and encouragement.
To each of these good people I
would like to offer my heartfelt thanks, and to acknowledge hereunder their
many contributions to this venture. Last names have been arranged
alphabetically.
Without their
help this site could not have happened.
