Vice-Regal Tour Of Central Pacific

Enthusiastic loyal welcomes by Europeans and colourful, spectacular native ceremonies marked the progress of the tour through Central Pacific by the Governor-General of New Zealand (Viscount Galway) and Viscountess Galway from the beginning of July when they arrived at Rarotonga until August 12 when they left Niue Island on their return to Auck land. On board H.M.S. “Achilles”, they visited the main and outlying islands of the Cook Group, Western Samoa, Pago Pago (American Samoa), Fiji, Tonga and Niue.
