Chris Lloyd writes in today's Northern Echo about meeting descendants of Jonathan Moscrop, and seeing his original on-board diary written on the Westlands maiden voyage in 1879 !

Jonathan signs his diary 'Mousetrap', not Moscrop!
Maybe this is a reference to the number of vermin on the voyage?!
With thanks to Jean Porter (current keeper of the diary), Chris Lloyd at the Echo is making a copy of the diary for our exhibitions in NZ and Scotland.
