Departure of British Emigrants for New Zealand, 1862: A Historical Voyage Down the River Thames This engraving captures a poignant moment in history as 800 non-conformist emigrants from London bid farewell to their homeland and embarked on a new journey to the then-new colony of Albertland, New Zealand. The image, titled "The Departure of the Emigrants for New Zealand on Board the Matilda Wattenbach," was created in 1862 and depicts the emigrants on board the ship as it heads down the River Thames. The Matilda Wattenbach was a three-masted barque that had sailed from London on December 7, 1862, carrying the eager and hopeful emigrants who sought a new life in the land of the long white cloud. The passengers, who were primarily members of various non-conformist religious groups, were led by the Reverend John Frederick Octavius Vaughan, who had established the Albertland Colony in New Zealand with the intention of creating a utopian society based on communal living and self-sufficiency. The engraving shows the emigrants on the deck of the ship, waving goodbye to their loved ones and friends as the Matilda Wattenbach sails away from the shore. The image is a poignant reminder of the courage and determination of these emigrants as they embarked on a long and uncertain journey to a new land, leaving behind their familiar surroundings and starting anew. The journey down the River Thames was an important milestone in the lives of these emigrants, marking the beginning of their new life in New Zealand. The image captures the excitement and anticipation of the emigrants as they set sail for their new home, filled with hope and the promise of a better future.
