Captain Boyd's Career.

The Captain Boyd mentioned above must not be confused with another Captain Boyd who, in the early 'sixties, traded from Liverpool to Port Chalmers.

Captain W. B. Boyd, of the Piako, came to Auckland as chief officer of the Loch Awe when she made the record passage of 76 days. He commanded the Rangitiki on one voyage, and had the Hurunui and other ships. Later he was appointed agent in Dunedin for the New Zealand Shipping Company and after many years' service left for England and died there on April 9th, 1899.
