Description
Part two of our special episode looking at the remarkable life of Hannah Davison, wife of Captain Davison of the steel barque Alice A. Leigh/Rewa and mother to six children. The Davison family were something of a maritime Von Trapp family, and wherever they arrived in port they appeared in the local newspapers. Hannah carefully kept any newspaper cuttings that mentioned her family and her exploits. The stories included how the vessel survived a typhoon, was nearly torpedoed by a German U-Boat when the First World War broke out, births, deaths and illnesses of her children. There are also recipes for the kids and some of their drawings. The scrapbook now survives in the collections of the New Zealand Maritime Museum/Hui te Ananui a Tang-aroa. Check out our YouTube page for a video exploring the life of the ship and the Davison family. Our GDPR privacy policy was updated on August 8, 2022. Visit acast.com/privacy for more information.
