Additional NotesAPARIMA was especially designed for the Union Company's India service making over 30 voyages to Calcutta. In 1912 APARIMA was fitted out to carry 50 cadets which were transferred from the Company's sail training ship DARTFORD. Requisitioned by NZ Government from 1915-1917 as a troopship. Torpedoed in the English Channel, 6 miles SW from Anvil Point 19 November 1917 on passage London to New York with the loss of 54 crew including 17 cadets. It was not until 1952 that Union Company carried cadets again. Last edited by: John Brown
