    Smile New Zealand Ports used by Shaw Savill Line

    Can anyone help? I am researching the ports used by the Shaw Savill Line in New Zealand that the Athenic would have stopped off at, in the early 60's.
    I have been told that Napier was a stop off point, also Wellington and Auckland. Is this information correct? Are there any other ports that may have been used? Any help you could give me on this would be gratefully received
    Thank you!

    Thanks for the reply

    I checked it out this afternoon, but sadly the New Zealand ports are lumped together! It would be great to find out more detail - if you have any more thoughts do let me know...thx again - My memory's failing! Fred

    I saw the Dominion Monarch in Port New Plymouth on her final voyage 1957, so you can add that one to your list mate. Llyttleton, Timaru and Bluff are possibles.Happy hunting .
