History
The Corinthic, 500ft x 63.3ft (length x beam), one funnel, four masts, twin screw and a speed of 14 knots. She had accommodation for 121-1st, 117-2nd and 450-3rd class passengers and was equipped with refrigerated holds for the carriage of frozen meat. Built by Harland & Wolff, Belfast, she was launched for Shaw Savill & Albion - White Star Line joint service to New Zealand on 10th April 1902. Her maiden voyage started on 20th Nov.1902 when she left London for Cape Town and Wellington. Taken over under the Liner Requisition Scheme in 1917 and returned to her owners in 1920. On 20th January 1920 she resumed service on the UK - Panama - Wellington route and in 1923 rescued the crew of the Newfoundland schooner Marguerite Ryan. In 1926 she raced the New Zealand Shipping Co. ship Remuera outbound to NZ and the ships were virtually in sight of each other all the way. She commenced her last sailing from Southampton to Wellington on 14th August 1931 and in Dec.1931 was sold to Hughes Bolckow for scrap and was broken up at Wallsend-on-Tyne.

The NZEF 23 Reinforcements, a total of 2094 troops, embarked from Wellington aboard the RUAPEHU on 14 March 1917 and the CORINTHIC on 2 April. The CORINTHIC, ship's master Captain F. Hart, disembarked at Plymouth on June 10 and the troops marched into Sling Camp, Wiltshire to become part of the 4th NZ Infantry Reserve Battalion. The REMUERA was lost during trooping duties during WW2.

Mr and Mrs Anthony Lewis (on that trip and whose menu this was) were not actually immigrating on this ship but returning to NZ from an extended trip to England. They left half their family in England (2 boys and 2 girls) and returned to two married daughters in NZ and two sons in Australia. The next generation flitted back and forth too.
