Peter Clegg

[Brian Probetts (Site Admin)]

It is with regret that I wish to inform the members of the Durham Association that my husband Peter T. Clegg passed away on the 27th May 2015, after a short illness.

Peter joined the New Zealand Shipping Company in 1960 and sailed as a cadet on the M.V. Otaio’ in April of that year.
Peter later served on many of the company’s fleet.

Hinakura, Hauraki, Cornwall, Suffolk as 3rd Mate.
Hereford, Hinakura, Devon, Otaki as 2nd Mate.
Otaki, Tekoa, Turakina Piako as Chief Officer, leaving NZSCo about 1978.

Peter retired in 1999 having served as Captain from 1995

I sailed with him in 1970 on the Otaki and again in 1973 on the Essex both times to New Zealand. I have many memories of the ‘old ships’ /real ships and good times.

Yours sincerely
Sue Clegg
